    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.

    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.

    Part 2 – Manual Fault-Plane Interpretation with OpendTect

    In last week's post, we illustrated why cleaning up your seismic data and visualizing faults are crucial first steps in any fault-interpretation workflow.

    Now, in Part 2, we move into the hands-on stage: manually picking fault sticks and constructing a fault plane in OpendTect to build a geologically sound structural framework. This can be done in two ways: either on a plane-by-plane basis, or by picking and grouping afterwards.
