==3-D interpretation==

The 3-D data volume is available to the interpreter as vertical sections in both the in-line and cross-line directions and as horizontal sections (time slices). The time slices allow the interpreter to generate contour maps for marker horizons ([[:[[file:three-dimensional-seismic-method_fig2.png|Figure 2]]). The interactive environment provides an effective and efficient means for interpretation of the sheer volume of 3-D migrated seismic data. Fault correlations, horizon tracking, horizon flattening, and some image processing techniques can be adapted to the interactive environment to help improve interpretation. Since the 3-D volume provides detailed constraints on interpretational decisions, drilling programs based on 3-D seismic usually have high success rates.
