Seismic Interpretation | What is seismic interpretation?
Seismic Interpretation is the extraction of subsurface geologic information from seismic data. On that definition we all are agreed. However, if we seek a more penetrating explanation, we find practitioners get tongue-tied and talk around the subject in a variety of ways.
