## Dataset Summary

OIL-001 is a **full seismic simulation engine** producing realistic 2D/3D
seismic waveforms with subsurface structure interpretation labels — the kind
of data exploration geophysicists, reservoir engineers, and seismic AI
companies (Bluware, Earth Science Analytics, OspreyData, Geoteric) build
their models on, but synthetic and free under CC-BY-NC for research.

**Physics modeling**:

- **Convolutional seismic model**: reflectivity series × wavelet (Ricker or
  zero-phase)
- **Aki-Richards approximation**: angle-dependent reflection coefficients
  for AVO analysis
- **Gassmann fluid substitution**: mineral/dry-frame/fluid moduli per layer
- **Gardner's relation**: density from Vp by lithology
- **NMO (Normal Moveout)**: velocity-based gather flattening for CDP stack
- **Hilbert transform**: instantaneous amplitude, phase, frequency attributes
- **Negative-pressure coherence**: fault-zone similarity attribute

**Survey acquisition modeling**:

- 3D land, 3D marine, 2D 2D-towed-streamer survey types
- Configurable inline/crossline grid spacing
- 9 offset panels (0°-40° in 5° steps) for AVO gathers
- CDP fold, sample interval (2 ms = 500 Hz), 4-second TWT record length

**Subsurface structure model** (8 structure labels):

- Anticline crest / Anticline flank / Syncline
- Fault plane / Fault shadow
- Salt flank
- Stratigraphic trap
- Flat background

**DHI (Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator) injection** (6 DHI labels):

- No DHI (most traces)
- Bright spot (amplitude anomaly indicating gas)
- Dim spot (amplitude reduction indicating oil)
