Interactive interpretation is urgently needed to increase the productivity of the world' s hard-pressed seismic interpreters. This paper describes the use of an interactive system that displays seismic data in color on a television screen. The system is easy to use and, by automatically managing the data base for the interpreter, permits him to spend a larger portion of his time on the thoughtful process of interpretation itself. A 3-D data volume can be studied in both vertical or horizontal section form. The system can equally well handle the irregular grid from a 2-D survey.In the course of interpreting a section on the screen, the interpreter may manipulate portions of that section in a variety of ways. He may make composite displays of multiple pieces of data, track horizons in automatic or manual modes, and zoom portions of the data to any desired extent. An interpretation made on one section can later be viewed on other sections marked at the points of intersection. Data can also be flattened to aid in structural and stratigraphic interpretations. Working maps can be produced at any time to check the progress of the interpretation. Final maps can be smoothed and manipulated to yield isochron, isopach, and other map product%

Contributions of applied geophysics to petroleum exploration are discussed. We succinctly look over geophysical prospecting in exploration of structural and stratigraphic plays. Structural prospecting has been the rst, main concept for petroleum exploration through seismic imaging of subsurface. Stratigraphic prospecting was eventually successful as a by-product of structural exploration before digital seismics were introduced in 1960ʼs through 1970ʼs. Wireline logging provides us of basic data for our subsurface mapping and formation evaluation, and for calibration and improvement of quality of seismic processing.Geophysical prospecting was performed as; (1)gravity profiling in the latest 19th century, (2)single channel refraction and/or reflection profiling in late 1920ʼs through 1930ʼs,(3)multichannel reflection seismic sur vey to minimize noises by stacking CDP gathers during 1950ʼs, (4)analysis of subsurface seismic velocity data qualitatively de ning subsurface lithology and uid in 1960ʼs through 1970ʼs, (5)analyses of allostratigraphy and sedimentary facies in 1970ʼs, and(6)3D seismic surveys that lead detailed, regional paleogeology and de nition of stratigraphic plays in 1980ʼs through 1990ʼs.Seismic stratigraphy is a key in stratigraphic prospecting. We now can perform seismic geomorphology and reconstructive basin analysis based on 3D seismic data-cubes normally and inversely processed. 4D surveys represent changes of physical properties of subsurface formations through time.Future progress in the geophysical prospecting is expected in(1)combining of macro-and nano-surveys; that is, clarifying and solving enigmas in petroleum technology, e.g., primary migration of oil and gas, and ef cient development of shale resources.Human development in technological education and management system of human resources are also the keys for this progress. Multidisciplinary education of geology, applied geophysics is desired for effective performance in petroleum exploration and exploitation. High seismic resolution is required for not only structural imaging but also rock physical one.
