Abstract
Three-dimensional seismic techniques are proving to be valuable geophysical exploration tools, especially for field development. A 3-D volume of data allows the generation of traditional vertical seismic sections along any azimuth or direction, resulting in more accurate well placements. This shortens the time between discovery and production and avoids unnecessary drilling in dry areas.
