摘要 |
The invention relates to methods and computer-readable medium to determine seismic reflectivity attributes indicating the presence of hydrocarbons in earth. In several embodiments, the methods and computer-readable medium perform the steps of computing seismic reflectivity attributes includes inputting data representing reflected seismic waves and a volume of P-wave velocity, transforming the volume of P-wave velocity into a volume of bulk density, transforming the volume of P-wave velocity into a volume of S-wave velocity using amplitude information from the reflected seismic waves, and using the volume of S-wave velocity and the volume of P-wave velocity to compute the reflectivity attribute.
