02 Seismic sections and interpretation lines

Seismic sections and interpretation lines.

The seismic 2D sections were used to interpret horizon lines and faults. Interpretation lines can in general be work out in Geocaps interpretation system. But in this case they were interpreted from an external interpretation system and imported into Geocap. This is often the case because there are many specialized interpretation systems around.

Exercise

Display and compare seismic sections and interpretation lines.

  1. Display a seismic 2D section. Try LOD display and ordinary display.
  2. Use the x key letter to set a focus and rotation point on the seismic.
  3. Drop color tables on the section. Use the Adjust color table range icon to study color table effects.
  4. Display the seismic navigation lines. Use the icon Locate project object from graphics to identify a seismic section.
  5. Display interpretation lines in various line thickness. Try also point display.
  6. Evaluate the interpretation quality. Are the lines auto tracked or digitized?

Detail of seismic and interpretation lines

If you want to correct or reinterpret some parts of the interpreted lines they have to be imported into Geocaps interpretation systems; see Importing Interpretation and 12. Seismic Interpretation. Not all seismic 2D sections are in the course project, but they are present in the Tutorial data1 which can be downloaded.
