The utilisation in deep water of short offset 3D (SO3D) seismic data for the interpretation of shallow geohazards has been gaining popularity over the years. A number of case studies have been published comparing SO3D seismic data with conventional High Resolution 2D (HR2D) seismic data (see references). In the case of deep water good quality 3D seismic data the conclusions unanimously point to the numerous advantages of SO3D over HR2D with only a small trade-off in vertical resolution.This paper is a case study on the application of SO3D seismic data for the interpretation of shallow geohazards in deep water in the Karama PSC in the Makassar straits, Indonesia. 3D visualisation is used to demonstrate the high detail of imaging that can be achieved of seabed and sub-seabed features allowing for reliable interpretation of geohazards.
