METHOD FOR PERFORMING STRATIGRAPHICALLY-BASED SEED DETECTION IN A 3-D SEISMIC DATA VOLUME

摘要

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