Preface
Young students in universities and freshers in oil companies have asked me on many occasions after my lectures, if I could suggest a reference book on interpretation and evaluation of seismic data. I could not do so because, honestly, I was not aware of any such book. Interpretation, being an aspective art, depends to a large extent on an individual’s perception and, perhaps due to this reason, it becomes difficult for one to express abstract things in writing. Interpretation of any data, especially seismic data in petroleum exploration, needs to be conclusive and logically extended to its geological implications, in evaluating the prospects for techno-economical risk analysis, and consequently in strategizing field development plans for exploration and production of hydrocarbons. There is a difference between interpretation of
