Claim One:
1. A method for performing chrono-stratigraphic interpretation of a subterranean formation, comprising: obtaining a seismic volume comprising a plurality of stratigraphic features of the subterranean formation, wherein the plurality of stratigraphic features are deformed by a plurality of structural events; performing, using a processor of a computer system, a structural restoration of the seismic volume to generate a restored seismic volume by removing deformation due to the plurality of structural events, wherein the restored seismic volume comprises a plurality of restored stratigraphic features; performing, using the processor, a chrono-stratigraphic interpretation based on the restored seismic volume to generate a plurality of chrono-stratigraphic objects each associated with a respective relative geologic age; and displaying the plurality of chrono-stratigraphic objects in a chrono-stratigraphic space according to the respective relative geologic age of each of the plurality of stratigraphic objects.
