Although the recognition of strike-slip faults in subsurface data is difficult, good quality 3D seismic
datacan be very usefulforidentifyingsuch faults. In this paper, we throw light on the identification of strike-slip faults
from seismic data. Because fault slip is horizontal, strike–slip displacement is better displayed on horizon maps or
seismic slices, where they transversely or obliquely offset other structural features like folds. Strike-slip faults may also
be recognized by complex flower structures and/or teepee structures. In addition, changing the apparent fault
displacement along the strike of the fault from normal to reverse may also indicate the presence of strike-slip
movement.
