3D seismic image processing for unconformities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a 3D seismic unconformity attribute to detect complete unconformities, highlighting both their termination areas and correlative conformities. These detected unconformities are further used as constraints to more accurately estimate seismic normal vectors at unconformities. Then, using seismic normal vectors and detected unconformities as constraints, we can better flatten seismic images containing unconformities.

3 D seismic image processing for interpretation
Extracting fault, unconformity, and horizon surfaces from a seismic image is useful for interpretation of geologic structures and stratigraphic features. Although interpretation of these surfaces has been automated to some extent by others, significant manual effort is still required for extracting each type of these geologic surfaces. I propose methods to automatically extract all the fault, u...
متن کاملAutomatically interpreting all faults, unconformities, and horizons from 3D seismic images
Extracting fault, unconformity, and horizon surfaces from a seismic image is useful for interpretation of geologic structures and stratigraphic features. Although others automate the extraction of each type of these surfaces to some extent, it is difficult to automatically interpret a seismic image with all three types of surfaces because they could intersect with each other. For example, horiz...
متن کامل3 D seismic image processing for subsurface modeling CWP
Subsurface modeling from seismic and borehole data is important for reservoir prediction, geophysical exploration and production. A reasonable model should honor borehole rock properties and conform to seismic structural and stratigraphic features. Such a subsurface model can be di cult to create in cases complicated by faults and unconformities. Automatic and semi-automatic methods have been p...
متن کاملGenerating a relative geologic time volume by 3D graph-cut phase unwrapping method with horizon and unconformity constraints
Construction of a relative geologic time (RGT) volume is vital to seismic geomorphological and sedimentological interpretation. Seismic instantaneous phase unwrapping provides an excellent approach for generating an RGT volume. Although several 2D or 3D seismic phase unwrapping results have been published, there is a clear need for discussions on concrete methods for seismic phase unwrapping. W...
