Three-dimensional [[seismic interpretation]] is not just dense 2-D seismic interpretation. Although it is certainly possible to interpret the 3-D seismic volume as a dense 2-D grid (in fact, some early interactive interpretation systems actually encouraged this), this is neither an effective nor an efficient approach to the interpretation. The results are generally of poorer quality and require significantly more effort than interpreting the data in a 3-D fashion. | Three-dimensional [[seismic interpretation]] is not just dense 2-D seismic interpretation.
