Preview seismic data for quality and consistency using acquisition and processing reports that come with the data. Note any geological conditions that might cause the interpretation method listed in the procedure to fail. As shown in Figure 12-9A, each 3-D seismic survey has a unique outline of live traces or image area. Use the outline of the image area with the processing report and well spots ([[:file:interpreting-seismic-data_fig12-9.png|Figure 1B]]) to confirm correct orientation of the survey. This might sound silly but it is very easy to get the orientation wrong since there are many ways to orient a cube.
