Claim One:
1. A method for structural dip removal, comprising: converting a seismic volume to a depth domain; extracting seismic dips from the seismic volume in the depth domain along a borehole trajectory; analyzing a borehole using the seismic dips to obtain structural dip data; in response to determining that the seismic dips and borehole dips obtained from borehole imagery are consistent, generating a three dimensional (“3D”) structural model using the structural dip data; performing a structural restoration using the 3D structural model 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 using the depositional geometry data and the sedimentary dip data.
