METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMAGE-GUIDED FAULT EXTRACTION FROM A FAULT-ENHANCED SEISMIC IMAGE

摘要

A system and method is provided for performing image-guided fault extraction from a fault-enhanced seismic image. The system divides three-dimensional fault-enhanced seismic images into a series of two-dimensional seismic image slices that can be selectively displayed and analyzed for fault surfaces. The system allows a user to select two or more fault surface points in a displayed image slice and identifies a fault path between the first fault surface point and the second fault surface that corresponds to a calculated at least cost path.
