Beschreibung
This book offers a comprehensive framework for seismic interpretation by combining qualitative and quantitative workflows to improve the accuracy of fault and horizon mapping in 3D seismic volumes. It provides in-depth discussions on velocity modelling, vertical exaggeration, seismic uncertainties, fault scaling relationships, structural style and displacement gradient analysis. The book compares 2-D regional profiles and maps of the Levantine Margin with published studies from the Niger-Delta Basin, Newfoundland Margin and the Arctic Alaska Province, reproducing and interpreting fault patterns across continental margins. The book also applies to an analogue sandbox model of oblique rift basins to experimentally simulate the deformation mechanisms responsible for variations in structural styles. The book bridges traditional interpretation techniques with advanced geomechanical and subsurface modelling, offering practical relevance to energy exploration, CCS, and tectonic analysis.
