Atlas of structural geological interpretation from seismic images / Атлас интерпретированных геологических структур по данным сейсморазведки

Analyses of geological structures from field exposure of rocks have been one of the important and intriguing disciplines in (applied) Earth Sciences. Since the 1990s, especially after the boom of three‐dimensional seismic technologies, reflection seismic data in two and three dimensions have become the modern ‘field’ for geologists. A large number of exploration geoscientists analyze reflection seismic data to interpret sedimentary sequences and deformation structures to provide prospective leads for exploration in their respective industries. Today, seismic data are used extensively in industries such as hydrocarbon and mineral exploration, carbon dioxide sequestration, sea floor hazard surveys for cables and pipelines and so on. This bookprimarily deals with reflection seismic data in the hydrocarbon industry. The last atlas on interpretation of seismic images for structural information was in 2006 (Shaw et al., 2006). That atlas presents seismic images in black and white print and covers compressionrelated structures. In keeping up with the growing usage of reflection seismic in the industry, interpretations of such seismic images have been included in PhD coursework, postgraduate and graduate level courses in several universities. There is a scarcity of text books, especially with an Indian background, in this field presumably due to the lack of an interface between universities and industries. We hope this book fills that requirement.
