Seismic section

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003317

A two-dimensional display of processed seismic reflection data, representing a vertical slice through the Earth's subsurface. It shows reflections from geological interfaces, allowing interpreters to visualize stratigraphy and structural features. These sections are typically displayed with time on the vertical axis and distance along the survey line on the horizontal axis.
