Surface Restoration for Predicting Potential Fault

Potential fault denotes the minor fault which is hard to be identified at work.General seismic interpretation method is suitable for interpreting some large-scale faults.Because of the limited resolution,it is difficult to interpret minor potential faults directly in view of seismic section.So it is necessary to find new technical method to interpret the potential faults.Surface restoration is the reconstruction of the 3D deformed structures based on 3D structure modeling.Structure stability index,K-max and dilatation can be obtained from surface restoration,and on their maps,the potential faults are showed as small linear structure,so potential faults can be predicated according to linear structure abnormity.
