How do I transfer depth-converted faults to Petrel?
Depth-converted faults can be transferred to Petrel, e.g. TWT faults as TVD, or TVD faults as TWT.
The process:
- Export the faults in the converted domain
- Import the faults back to Insight
- Transfer the imported faults to Petrel
Note: Ensure a velocity model is configured for depth conversion (see How it Works: Time-Depth Conversion). The Petrel link must be connected so that horizons and/or faults can be transferred (see Insight and Petrel Overview).
