PaleoScan™ Dynamic Flattening

PaleoScan™ Dynamic Flattening

Horizon Flattening is a common technique in seismic interpretation in order to restore the state of deformations underneath a reference isotime surface.

In PaleoScan™, along with an option to flatten the viewers such as 2D, 3D seismic viewers, and log viewers, on a particular horizon (Fig. 1), the users will have an advanced option to flatten the viewers dynamically using the Horizon Stack.

This Dynamic Flattening tool allows using the Horizon Stack which consists of unlimited chronostratigraphic as a reference to flatten the viewers (Fig. 2, 3, 4) Thus, the interpreters will be able to evaluate both laterally and vertically the linkage between tectonic activities, sedimentation, and accommodation spaces, not only at a particular timeline but in a 3D relative geologic time domain.

Figure 4: Example from Maui 3D, offshore New Zealand. The seismic viewer can be also flattened in 3D domain, showing the linkage between the lateral and vertical evolution of the geomorphology on the Horizon Stack and the clinoform seismic facies.
