"These are very useful tools in petroleum exploration, especially in the early stage with limited well control."
--Jianyong Hou, JGI, Inc -
"OpendTect in short: Great Workbench - User Friendly - Superb Support -Improved Reservoir Imaging - Ulitmately: Mitigated Drilling and Production Risk."
--Dr. Rainer Tonn, Retired Geophysicist - Equinor -
"Several of my client's 3D projects are in areas where subtle faulting can significantly impact their production, and having OpendTect's attribute tools such as Ridge Enhancement can really make a difference when deciding where to drill!"
--W. Michael "Mike" Cline, Consulting Geophysicist, T/X Resources

Automatic Fault Plane Extraction - part 4
Part 4 – Automatic Fault Plane Extraction
This is the fourth post in our series on fault plane interpretation in OpendTect. In Part 1, we looked at pre-processing and visualization of fault attributes. This was followed by manual interpretation on a plane-by-plane basis and by the standard workflow of picking sticks first and creating planes thereafter.

Automatic Fault Plane Extraction - part 3
Part 3 – Building Fault Planes from Manually Picked Fault Sticks in OpendTect
In Part 1, we looked at why cleaning up your data and visualizing fault attributes are essential steps in structural interpretation studies. In Part 2, we showcased manual interpretation on a plane-by-plane basis.
Now in Part 3, we dive deeper into manual interpretation of faults and describe the most common method: From unsorted fault sticks ➜ to fault planes.
