What would be
the value of following workflow like this in Hydrocarbon exploration and
production?
Yes, the workflow helped constraining the interpretation, because this workflow
establish fault correlations and fault patterns using displacement patterns on strike
projection, especially when data are limited. If data are 2D seismic lines and
separations between seismic lines are wide, then this workflow will be helpful to
improve interpretation and to decrease uncertainty in fault interpretation and
correlation.
Contour maps for exploration may describe geologic structure as well as thickness of
formations. They can show the angle of a fault and where it cuts off formations and
other faults, as well as where formations stop suddenly.
Defining faults and fault patterns is very important in Hydrocarbon
exploration. Advantages of proper interpretations are reflected in the following:
