3D seismic data have been referred to as the earth scientists’ ‘Hubble telescope’. The huge advances made by industry in imaging the subsurface using seismic waves in the last 15 years has meant that we are able to explore the subsurface in unparalleled detail. At one time it was the role of the geologist to take 2D cross-sections constructed from 2D seismic surveys and/or field observations and interpolate between these imperfect interpretations to bring the subsurface to life. Now it is possible to image whole river systems, rift valleys and parts of mountain ranges in three dimensions. The resolution of...
