Analyses of Structural Geological Interpretation 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.
Exploration geoscientists use seismic data to interpret sedimentary sequences, deformation structures, and provide leads for industries like hydrocarbon exploration, mineral exploration, and more. Today, seismic data play a crucial role in various industries. This book primarily deals with reflection seismic data in the hydrocarbon industry.
The last Structural Geological 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 compression‐related 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.
