− | A3-D seismic data set is a “cube” or volume of data; a 2-D seismic data set, on the other hand, is a panel of data. To interpret the 3-D data we need to investigate the interior of the cube. This is done almost universally on a computer due to the massive amounts of data involved. A3-D data set can range in size from a few tens of megabytes to several gigabytes—the equivalent of a library of information.
