Structural framework validation

1- Once the seismic interpretation is completed, you must to convert the profiles
in depth
2- Before to start the balance and restoration , the vertical scale must be the
same in the horizontal scale
3- The best way to validate the structural framework (seismic interpretation or
geological profiles), is using backstripping and forward modeling
4- By mean of the back-stripping and forward modeling you can check that the
structural profiles are balanced and can be restored
5- however we can find several solutions for the same seismic data or the same

Structural framework validation

Back-stripping in one structural

profile

Forward modeling in the same

structural profile

The most important results

1- If the final step of forward modeling is almost the same that the first step from
back- stripping, then model validated
2- You can determine the age of the structural traps, example: Normal faults from
Jurassic and Compressional from Eoc.
3- Recognition of the tectonic sequences and stretching percentage
4- Every step from tectonic evolution are one of the main input for the petroleum
