Abstract
Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to adjustment of seismic survey boundaries to remove or minimize data gaps, thereby providing optimized seismic interpretation.
Claims12
A computer-implemented method of adjusting seismic section boundaries for optimized seismic interpretation, the method comprising:
- displaying a vertical seismic section across a plurality of three-dimensional (“3D”) seismic surveys within a graphical user interface (“GUI”) of an application executable on a user computing device;
- identifying an outline of a live seismic trace from seismic volumes represented in the vertical seismic section, the outline being referred to as a live trace outline (“LTO”);
- upon determining that at least two of the 3D seismic surveys are overlapping, determining whether any data gaps exist within at least one of the LTOs identified for an area of the vertical seismic section corresponding to the overlapping 3D seismic surveys;
- and
- upon determining a data gap does exist, adjusting a boundary of a selected one of the overlapping 3D seismic surveys so as to remove or minimize the data gap from the corresponding area of the vertical seismic section.

A system for adjusting seismic section boundaries for optimized seismic interpretation, the system comprising:
- non-transitory memory storing a plurality of seismic surveys;
- and
- one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to execute instructions to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- displaying a vertical seismic section across a plurality of three-dimensional (“3D”) seismic surveys within a graphical user interface (“GUI”) of an application executable on a user computing device;
- identifying an outline of a live seismic trace from seismic volumes represented in the vertical seismic section, the outline being referred to as a live trace outline (“LTO”);
- upon determining that at least two of the 3D seismic surveys are overlapping, determining whether any data gaps exist within at least one of the LTOs identified for an area of the vertical seismic section corresponding to the overlapping 3D seismic surveys;
- and
- upon determining a data gap does exist, adjusting a boundary of a selected one of the overlapping 3D seismic surveys so as to remove or minimize the data gap from the corresponding area of the vertical seismic section.
