Transfer Faults

The Transfer Faults application allows you to transfer faults from one line to another. This is particularly useful when you have 2D lines that overlap a 3D volume or two 3D volumes that overlap. The Transfer Faults application will move fault nodes from one line to another, placing the node on the closest trace (within the search radius) the other line.

General Information

Seismic Lines

Available Seismic Lines

Use this list to select the Source and Destination lines for the fault transfer.   Left click to select a seismic line, left click while pressing the Ctrl key on your keyboard to select multiple seismic lines, or select a group of lines from the Basemap.   To help you make your seismic line selections, you can sort any column by left clicking on the column header, you can apply a filter (), or you can type a search string into the search bar to limit the list using Name or Owner information.

For additional selection and navigation options right click on the Seismic Lines fileslist to access the shortcut menu.

Include SEG-P lines: Select this option to include SEG-P lines in the line list. Most users do not have interpretation attached to their SEG-P lines, but if you do you will want this item checked.

Source 

The list of seismic lines that you want source faults to be transferred from. The seismic lines can be moved back to the original list using the selection arrows.

Destination 

The list of seismic lines that you want faults transferred to. The seismic lines can be moved back to the Available list using the selection arrows.

Faults

Select the faults that you want to transfer. Left click to select a fault, or left click and press the Ctrl key on your keyboard to select multiple faults. To help you make your fault selections, you can sort any of the columns by left clicking on the column header, you can apply a filter (), or you can type a search string into the search bar to limit the list based on Name, or Owner information. 

For additional selection options right click on the Faults fileslist to access the shortcut menu.

Transfer Properties

This is a list of parameters controlling how faults are transferred.

Search Radius: Enter a distance project units to determine the maximum distance from the XY location of the node on the Source line a transferred node will be placed. If there is more than one trace on the destination line within this radius, the node will be placed on the closest trace.

Output Name Extension: Enter an name to be appended to the original fault name. If this is left blank, the original name is used.
