AUTOMATED HORIZON AUTO-PICKING ON MULTIPLE VOLUMES

摘要

The disclosure describes a method and apparatus for performing automated horizon picking on a based volume and snapping auto-picked horizons to other seismic volumes in 4D and multi-azimuth seismic interpretation workflow. Changes made to an initial interpretation may be automatically updated on the other seismic volumes. The automated horizon auto-picking can be batched to setup, run, and monitor auto-picked horizons on a large number of seismic volumes without requiring manual updating of interpretations on each individual volume.

主权项

1. A method for automatically picking horizons in seismic volumes, comprising:
receiving a seed horizon input associated with a seismic onset of a based volume; performing an automated horizon picking operation on the based volume using the seed horizon input to generate an auto-picked horizon; associating the auto-picked horizon with a plurality of seismic volumes; and snapping the auto-picked horizon to each of the plurality of seismic volumes to generate an output horizon for each of the plurality of seismic volumes, wherein the output horizon for each of the plurality of seismic volumes is positioned relative to a common seismic onset.
