Structural Taster

This document outlines a course on structural interpretation of seismic data. The course will: 1) Cover different structural styles from around the world through virtual field trips and hands-on examples, including extensional, compressional, strike-slip, salt tectonics, and inversion. 2) Walk through the structural interpretation process, including pre-interpretation preparation and workstation tips. 3) Include practical sessions interpreting seismic data from different tectonic settings to enable quicker and more accurate structural interpretation.

INTRODUCTION - STRUCTURAL INTERPRETATION OF SEISMIC DATA

Structural Interpretation
of seismic data

! Why structural interpretation is different from structure taught at college


! Structural styles from around the world
! Geophysics stripped out by variations in data quality, polarity, display etc
! Two themes:
Structural styles across tectonic spectrum via virtual excursions & hands-on
A structural interpretation process

Aim:
Enable quicker and more accurate structural interpretation of seismic
