1 Automatic Fault Extraction Contents Epos 3 Second Edition Update I Automatic Fault Extraction 1-1 Automatic Fault Extraction Overview 1 Automatic Fault Extraction (AFE) , is a process designed to automatically interpret fault surfaces from 3-D coherency volumes. The benefits to the interpreter include reduced cycle time for fault surface interpretation, consistent and accurate interpretation of 3-D fault surfaces, improved horizon auto-tracking by providing 3-D fault surfaces as a constraint, and as input to 3-D solid models. Traditionally, faults have been interpreted by mapping discontinuities from vertical amplitude sections or directly from coherency time slices. Interpretation usually involves interpreting one or two faults at a time, stepping through the 3-D volume on some subset of the lines, crosslines and time slices. Thus, many passes through the data are required to interpret faults for an entire 3-D volume. AFE produces rough fault picks for the entire volume through a series of processing steps which you fully control, and provides QC products at each step which you may evaluate to determine best parameters for each data set. The rough fault picks are loaded to a visualization/interpretation product, such as Reservoir Navigator or VoxelGeo, and further edited to provide final inte
