You didn't say what type of data that you had...if you have 3D seismic data, then you want to use any geophysical analytical software that will allow you to extract the seismic attribute coherence (or simblance) and then look at the time slices (or depth slices) if your seismic data has a depth migration. This way you can tract the fault up through the earth in a very accuratate way. This technique is common in unconventional exploration when determining the direction of natural fractures, however it works for faults on all scales.
I really want to has got 3D seismic data because i m working neotectonic and lots of place is covered by field unhappyly i dont have got enugh budget for trech, etc. I have got only fault strike,dip and striae trend. I want to evaluation theese data truly for this reason i want to get your advice.
Does Turkey have a national geological service like we have here in the United States? If you do, would they have their own seismic data for evaluating oil and gas potential areas? or for evaluating earthquakes? What about Turkish oil companies? Is your research area in an area they would have data? American companies have donated both data and software for my research in the Gulf of Mexico...is your research area somewhere important to either your government or to the oil & gas industry? If your research area is in the middle of nowhere important, then you may have trouble getting help. First step is to determine if there is any seismic data over your area, and if so, who owns it.
I was not asking those questions for myself, but only to suggest possible sources of seismic data for Berkant. I was hoping for him to find resources that maybe he had not yet considered. Of course, so much depends on where his research area is located. If his area is located somewhere of geological interest, then maybe he could ask one of these resources if he could borrow their seismic data for academic research. That was my thought. I have been amazed how much industry has been willing to share for my own research project.
Dear Berkant Coskuner, you need to try out a lot of freely available software online. Meanwhile, some proprietary software like Rockworks maybe helpful. Trial versions are available. If you have challenges applying it, you may contact me. Regards.
Hi Berkant, i think you shoud try out with 2D and/or 3D Move. It is a good program for fault evaluation. I dont know how is the license for this sofware, but you could investigate how get a trial version. Regards.
If you want visualization of fault that you need seismic attribute analysis. I recommend the coherence series attribute and frequecy decomposition method. or if you just varify fault consideing stratigraphic interpretation you can make the structural model. i recommend the free academic version of Opendetect..
There are a lot of softwares that can evaluate faults. But what do you want to evaluate the fault for? do you want to know the effect of shale gauge ratio, fault sealing capacity, calculate Alan diagrams and analyze juxtaposition Petrel software may be the tool for you. If you want to evaluate the fault timing, when did the fault happen at what time and when and learn about the history of the fault, was it formed under compression or tension, did it reactivate through time, is there negative or positive inversion associated with your fault, IGEOSS software may be the tool? hope that helps
If you have fault orientations that you want to look at Rick Allmendinger at Cornell University (USA) has free software for plotting stereonets and rose diagrams. These will help to look at the distribution of faults in your dataset. The program Stereostat also lets you plot fault orientations and distributions, and has an academic license available for less than $200.
I concur with Alissa. Rick Allmendinger´s software is great, free and easy to use, and it does much more than plotting orientations. I suppose "fault data" means fault orientations, striations and senses of slip?
For Palaeostress analysis you can use Faultkin 4.3.4 (Allmendinger et al, 1994) which uses the 'P' and /or 'T" Dihedra Grid' proposed by Angelier and Mechler (1977) and Angelier (1979, 1984).
I support the suggestion many people has made about Stereonet software of Rick Allmendinger (http://www.geo.cornell.edu/geology/faculty/RWA/programs/stereonet.html). It is free, and very useful to plot orientations, calculate branch lines, many kind of geometric and statistical analyses, and rotation of structures.
I believe that rockworks or DIP's from rocsience will work perfectly; there are several freeware software at various universities, I will look for the links and update this information.
