The phase congruency algorithm – A carbonate case study

چکیده
The two-dimensional phase congruency algorithm using the log Gabor transform as developed by Kovesi (2003) is used to look for features such as edges and corners on two-dimensional images. In image processing, the algorithm has applications to robot vision and feature enhancement. In seismic analysis, we also look for features on 3D seismic cubes, but the features we look for are structural in nature. We implemented the Kovesi algorithm in a seismic analysis and display program. In our implementation, we use this algorithm to look for faults and fractures on slices taken from 3D seismic volumes. We illustrate this technique using a karst collapse study.

Applying the Phase Congruency Algorithm to Seismic Data Slices – A Carbonate Case Study
Introduction Traditionally, the analysis of seismic data involved looking for continuous events on seismic data, from which structural and stratigraphic features could be mapped. However, we are also interested in mapping discontinuous features such as faults and fractures. A method for identifying these discontinuities was first introduced by Bahorich and Farmer (1995) and called the coherency...

Permeability prediction problem has been examined using several methods such as empirical formulas, regression analysis and intelligent systems especially neural networks and fuzzy logic. This study proposes an improved and novel model for predicting permeability from conventional well log data. The methodology is integration of empirical formulas, multiple regression and neuro-fuzzy in a commi...
متن کاملIntegrated Well Placement and Completion Optimization using Heuristic Algorithms: A Case Study of an Iranian Carbonate Formation
Determination of optimum location for drilling a new well not only requires engineering judgments but also consumes excessive computational time. Additionally, availability of many physical constraints such as the well length, trajectory, and completion type and the numerous affecting parameters including, well type, well numbers, well-control variables prompt that the optimization approaches b...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Asphaltene Deposition Mechanisms During Natural Depletion Process by a Two Phase Modeling Using Genetic Algorithm Technique
In this work, the natural depletion process in sandstone and carbonate cores was modeled to investigate the asphaltene deposition mechanisms. A new permeability reduction correlation was proposed based on the Minssieux model that considers a combination of surface deposition, pore throat plugging, and filtration cake mechanisms. The results showed that the filtration cake is a dominant asphalte...
متن کاملImage feature detection from phase congruency based on two-dimensional Hilbert transform
The theory of phase congruency is that features such as step edges, roofs, and deltas always reach the maximum phase of image harmonic components. We propose a modified algorithm of phase congruency to detect image features based on two-dimensional (2-D) discrete Hilbert transform. Windowing technique is introduced to locate image features in the algorithm. Local energy is obtained by convoluti...
