It speaks by itself that in order to find oil, one must know where to look for it. In this thesis I have investigated and created new tools to find salt in the bedrock, and to recreate images according to some parameters, (fractal dimension and lacunarity). The oil prospecting company Schlumberger gathers nowadays a huge amount of seismic information. It is very time consuming to interpret the seismic data by hand. My task is to find a good way to detect salt in the seismic images of the underworld, that can then be used to classify the seismic data. The theory indicates that the salt behaves as fractals, and by studying the fractal dimension and lacunarity we can make a prediction of where the salt can be located. I have also investigated three different recreation techniques, so that one can go from parameters values (fractal dimension and lacunarity) back to a possible recreation.
