Method and apparatus for kinematically linking multiple seismic domains

A method for visualizing a set of seismic data in multiple seismic domains, comprising:

• visualizing the seismic data in a first seismic domain;
• visualizing the seismic data in a second seismic domain, the second seismic domain being related to the first seismic domain by a velocity model in time or depth and an appropriate conversion mechanism;
• and
• kinematically linking the first and second seismic domains through a kinematic conversion mechanism of the same type as the dynamic conversion mechanism used to generate the second seismic data from the first seismic data based on the appropriate velocity model.

A method for detecting discrepancies in three-dimensional seismic data between multiple seismic domains thereof, comprising:

• kinematically linking a first seismic domain of the seismic data to a second seismic domain of the data;
• kinematically linking the second seismic domain to a third seismic domain and
• comparing the first seismic domain to the third seismic domain over the kinematic link between the first and second seismic domains and over the kinematic link between the second and third seismic domains;
• and
• detecting discrepancies between the first and third seismic domains as a consequence of the comparison.

A method for accumulating complementary information extracted from multiple seismic domains of a set of seismic data, comprising:

• interpreting a first seismic domain of the seismic data;
• kinematically linking the first seismic domain to a second seismic domain of the seismic data;
• seeding the second seismic domain with the interpretation of the first seismic domain;
• hunting for complementary information in the second seismic domain;
• and
• persisting the complementary information to the first seismic domain.
