EVALUATION OF SEISMIC SEQUENCE LITHOLOGY

摘要

A method for translating seismic time data via seismic depth data to seismic depth/lithology data, enabling advantageous reducedrisk location of hydrocarbons. Reducing dry hole risk is accomplished by introducing a new work domain which provides a several-fold increase in parameters per data point corresponding to geophysical space and associated with seismic sequence data. This work domain provides improved separation and definition and quality control of a panoply of relevant geofactors which in return provide enhanced material information about a plurality of sedimentary rock properties. The enhanced material information is quality-controlled to be geologically possible, then further quality-controlled to be consistent with probability via quantification of burial history, depositional facies distribution and data resolution.
