Now, advances in processing and visualization techniques are helping reveal information about the patterns of small-scale faulting and fracturing that were beyond the detection capabilities of previous techniques. Operators are using this new knowledge to drill and manage their reservoirs with greater certainty.

However, manual picking of fault surfaces is time-consuming and often inaccurate, and capturing the complete set of structural lineaments can be impossible without semi-automated techniques.
ECLIPSE, FrontSim, MultiWave Array and RFT (Repeat Formation Tester) are marks of Schlumberger.
