**GeoTeric 2017.2** continues to expand on our Adaptive Interpretation system by introducing [Adaptive Fault Interpretation](https://www.geoteric.com/2017.2-release).

![Adaptive Fault Interpretation](https://blog.geoteric.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog2017/adaptive-fault-interpretation.jpg?width=545&name=adaptive-fault-interpretation.jpg "Adaptive Fault Interpretation")

Our new [Adaptive Faults](https://www.geoteric.com/latest/adaptive-faults) use [Regional Structural Awareness](https://www.geoteric.com/adaptive-horizon-webinar) to guide the fault sticks through the data, whilst still allowing the interpreter full control over the end results. Since it’s based on GeoTeric’s patent pending **Graph Theory** approach, it will also show the user different alternative paths as you interpret your data.

#### Key features include:

- Data following fault sticks increase the resolution and precision of structural interpretation.
- Interpret directly on reflectivity, attributes or blends in 2D or 3D.
- Automatic preview of surface generation for rapid QC whilst you interpret.
- Easy editing of fault sticks in a similar way to [Adaptive Horizons](https://www.geoteric.com/tutorials/interpret/adaptive-horizons).
- Interpret fault sticks on **Arbitrary Lines.**

#### Also in the 2017.2 release:

- Full support for floating point data throughout GeoTeric.
- **Adaptive Horizons** can now be tracked on **Arbitrary Lines.**
- Well correlation panel now allows you adjust the synthetic in either time or depth domain.
- Several performance and interactivity issues resolved in order to ensure a smooth interpretation experience.
- Faster SEG-Y header scan and IsoProportional Slicing export.
- GeoTeric is now compatible with [Petrel 2017](https://www.software.slb.com/products/petrel/petrel-2017).
