==Workflow==

The proposed workflow focuses on using present-day depth-converted seismic interpretation and rock properties to perform backward-sequence restoration from the youngest to the oldest deposits and tectonic processes. After the integration of input data such as seismic interpretation and rock properties, and the generation of structural/geological model, the following is performed: 1) decompaction (i.e., porosity/rock volume restoration), 2) fault restoration, 3) fold restoration and horizon flattening, 4) uplift and subsidence restoration, 5) and restoration of eroded sections. The validity of structural restoration is determined by achieving a dynamic restoration model that is both balanced and geologically plausible. It is worth pointing out that several dynamic restoration models may be considered valid. For that, it is recommended to test multiple restoration scenarios. Output results include paleotopography maps, quantified analysis of basin extension/compression, and stress/strain mapping and simulation. If the results are not valid, then seismic reinterpretation must be performed to regenerate an alternative structural/geological model.
