METHOD FOR PERFORMING STRATIGRAPHICALLY-BASED SEED DETECTION IN A3-D SEISMIC DATA VOLUME

摘要

The invention is a method for performing a stratigraphically-based seed detection in a 3-D seismic data volume. The method incorporates criteria that honor the layered nature of the subsurface so that the resulting seismic objects are stratigraphically reasonable. The method may be used to extract from a seismic data volume all seismic objects that satisfy the input criteria (135). Alternatively, the method may be used to determine the size and shape of a to specific seismic object in a seismic data volume.
