    Abstract: A system includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that are executable by the processor to access a plurality of seismic images of a subterranean formation in a first geological area. The instructions are also executable to generate a plurality of fault estimates from each of the plurality of seismic images. Further, the instructions are executable to generate a processed seismic image of the first geological area by normalizing and merging the plurality of seismic images and the plurality of fault estimates. Additionally, the instructions are executable to generate a statistical fault uncertainty volume of the first geological area using the processed seismic image. Furthermore, the instructions are executable to control a drilling operation in the first geological area using the statistical fault uncertainty volume of the first geological area.
