SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VORTEX CALCULATION AS ATTRIBUTE FOR GEOLOGIC DISCONTINUITIES

摘要

The present disclosure includes systems and methods for determining a geophysical profile from geophysical data. The systems and methods may include receiving geophysical data from a data source. The geologic data may include seismic traces corresponding to a region of earth. The systems and methods may transform the seismic traces into one or more characteristic values by vortex calculation. The vortex calculation comprises, for each particular portion of the region of earth, summing a plurality of shift values used to align traces located along a closed loop path within such particular portion. Each characteristic value may represent a portion of the region of earth and may quantify the likelihood that a structural discontinuity exists in the portion of the region of earth represented by such characteristic value.
