Petrel Automated Structural Interpretation

Increase accuracy while reducing your manual fault interpretation task

Understanding the trends of fault surfaces and fluid flow properties across fault systems is one of the most important aspects when it comes to reservoir characterization. For many years it has been possible to spatially interpret horizon reflections but interpretation of fault surfaces or planes has been more subjective.

The Petrel Automated Structural Interpretation module uses an advanced computing algorithm "Ant Tracking" to overcome this subjectivity. Now interpreters using 3D seismic data can spend time understanding the trends of fault surfaces and make correlations from the automatically extracted fault patches instead of creating fault surfaces individually and manually.

By focusing on structural geology rather than conventional segment picking, Automated Structural Interpretation reduces conventional interpretation time while increasing your level of geological detail, structural awareness and reservoir understanding.
