Abstract/Description:

Salt structures can be extremely challenging to interpret and understand. To begin with, the high velocity contrast between salt and most sedimentary rocks means that many salt structures are poorly imaged on seismic data. Furthermore, salt behaves as a fluid in the subsurface, creating geometries unlike anything found in nonsalt provinces. As a result, it can be difficult for the non-specialist to infer the evolution of salt structures upon inspection.
