Abstract: This paper presents the application of 3D visualization technology to the buried hill area A with complicated structures in Tabei uplift of Tarim basin, including seismic horizon calibration, trace strata, structural interpretation, fault interpretation, etc. The preliminary approach to the fault structures in buried hill allows the problems about such a systematic interpretation and description of fault structures in studied area to be well solved, which is difficult to be done by conventional seismic interpretation methods.

Key words: Tarim basin, Tabei uplift, buried hill, fault, visualization technology, seismic multiattribute
