Method for generating a new family of seismic attributessensitive to seismic texture that can be used for classification and groupingof seismic data into seismically similar regions. A 2D or 3D data analysiswindow size is selected (23), and for each of multiple positions (25) of theanalysis window in the seismic data volume, the data within the windoware transformed to a wavenumber domain spectrum (26). At least one at-tributeof the seismic data is then defined based on one or more spectralproperties, and the attribute is computed (28) for each window, generatinga multidimensional spectral attribute data volume (29). The attribute datavolume can be used for inferring hydrocarbon potential, preferably afterclassifying the data volume cells based on the computed attribute, parti-tioningthe cells into regions based on the classification, and prioritizing ofthe regions within a classification.
