Claim One:
1. A method comprising: providing a seismic volume for a subterranean formation with respect to a depth domain; extracting seismic dips from the seismic volume in the depth domain along a borehole trajectory in at least a portion of the subterranean formation; analyzing a borehole in at least a portion of the subterranean formation using the seismic dips to obtain structural dip data; providing borehole imagery of at least a portion of the subterranean formation; analyzing geological features in the borehole imagery to obtain borehole dips; in response to determining that the seismic dips and borehole dips are consistent, generating a three dimensional (“3D”) structural model of at least a portion of the subterranean formation using the structural dip data; performing a structural restoration using the 3D structural model and a processor to obtain depositional geometry data; removing structural dip from the borehole imagery using the 3D structural model to obtain sedimentary dip data; and performing a stratigraphic interpretation of stratigraphy associated with at least a portion of the subterranean formation using the depositional geometry data and the sedimentary dip data.
