Virtual Seismic Atlas

Sharing the geological interpretation of seismic data

Welcome to the Virtual Seismic Atlas!

The Virtual Seismic Atlas is an open access community resource to share the geological interpretation of seismic data. You can explore this site freely and download images for your own use. Be sure to read the Terms of Service before using any images.

Detail of the tidal channels Scene

VSA Author: Henry Posamentier

Organization: N/A

Interpretations: 0

Date Created: 2010-06-06

Seismic profile and amplitude map draped on time structure on top of the Kujung 1 carbonate platform. Channel relief, late-stage small buildups, and detrital deposits across the adjacent basin floor (i.e., calciturbidites) are shown. Image presented at the "Frontiers of Seismic Geomorphology" showcase held at the Geological Society, London, June, 2010.

A detail of the seismic section.

faulted clinoforms - offshore Namibia Interpretation

VSA Author: Rob Butler

Organization: N/A

Date Created: 2010-04-22

The stratal geometries on the shelf show progradational and aggradational geometry together with subtle slump scars. In 3D these mega forms probably trace lobes - hence the complex lap relationships. The stratal surfaces in the clinoforms (picked in blue) are cut by an array of moderately-dipping (once the excessive vertical exaggeration is removed) normal faults that do not contin...

thrust-top basin fill, ABC, Sinu Prism Interpretation

VSA Author: Jamie Vinnels, Rob Butler

Organization: N/A

Date Created: 2010-01-28

Thrust top basin fill sealing thrust structures and onlapping the related folds, The profile is a dogleg from two 2D seismic profiles.

Imaging thrust zones - coherency and extracted geobodies, outer thrust and fold belt-DW Niger Delta Regional Project

VSA Author: David Iacopini

Organization: N/A

Scenes: 7 Interpretations: 5

Date Created: 2009-04-17

This is a hub for various visualizations of thrust and damaged zones. Here this cube (a time slice, enclosed by side wall profiles) shows reflector COHERENCY - which brings out disruptions in amplitude of seismic reflections. The most disrupted parts are shown in yellow-grey. In blue are represented the most coherent parts of the seismic dataset. In this display the disruptions a...

Basal grooves, Dip azimuth horizon attribute Scene

VSA Author: Henry Posamentier

Organization: N/A

Interpretations: 0

Date Created: 2010-06-07

Dip azimuth horizon attribute illustrating pseudo relief of the basal grooves beneath a mass transport channel shown in the regional project. Small inset represents a seismic amplitude stratal slice illustrating channelized morphology. Yellow arrows indicate margins of mass-transport channel, white and rose-colored arrows indicate transport direction (seismic data courtesy of Weste...
