3D seismic structural interpretation is one of the robust tools in the exploration of hydrocarbon prospects. Synthetic modeling was used to find the best match between the wells and the seismic data. The study supports the usage of extracted wavelets to build the synthetic seismograms for a number of wells in the study area. In consequence, time depth relations were found for a number of wells and that facilitated the mapping of the target; Gharif and Al Khlata formations. With the guide of seismic attributes, structural elements were identified properly in the study area. Curvature attributes played the main rule in interpreting faults in the sedimentary package. Using combined attributes number of prospects represented by remarkable structural and stratigraphic traps where found and properly indicated in the structural maps of the target formations. This study reveals that it is possible to interpret and process the data at the same time which save time for possible discoveries and give the interpreter more insight into the relation between processing and interpretation.
