Abstract
A method includes receiving a training selection of a first set of faults located in a first subset of a seismic dataset for a subsurface geologic formation, detecting a second set of faults in the seismic dataset based on fault interpretation operations using a first set of interpretation parameters, and determining a difference between the first set of faults and the second set of faults. The method also includes generating a second set of interpretation parameters for the fault interpretation operations based on the difference between the first set of faults and the second set of faults, and determining a feature of the subsurface geologic formation based on fault interpretation operations using the second set of interpretation parameters.
