Abstract
An approach for seismic data analysis is provided. In accordance with embodiments of this approach, parallel regions within a volume of seismic data are modeled. Residual regions within the volumetric data set are identified, where the residual regions comprise those regions not modeled as parallel regions. The residual regions or a graphic derived from the residual regions are displayed for review.

A method for analyzing seismic data, comprising the acts of:
- accessing a volumetric seismic data set for analysis;
- modeling a plurality of regions using basis volumes derived from parallel regions within the volumetric seismic data set;
- identifying one or more residual regions within the volumetric data set, wherein the one or more residual regions comprise those regions not suitably modeled with the basis volumes based on a threshold criterion;
- and
- displaying the one or more residual regions or a graphic derived from the one or more residual regions for review.
A non-transitory, computer-readable medium configured to store one or more routines executable by a processing system, the routines, when executed, causing acts to be performed comprising:
- accessing a volumetric seismic data set for analysis;
- modeling a plurality of parallel regions within the volumetric seismic data set;
- identifying one or more residual regions within the volumetric data set, wherein the one or more residual regions comprise those regions not modeled as parallel regions based on a threshold criterion;
- and
- displaying the one or more residual regions or a graphic derived from the one or more residual regions for review.
A seismic data analysis system, comprising:
- a memory storing one or more routines;
- and
- a processing component configured to execute the one or more routines stored in the memory, wherein the one or more routines, when executed by the processing component, cause acts to be performed comprising:
- accessing a volumetric seismic data set for analysis;
- modeling a plurality of parallel regions within the volumetric seismic data set;
- identifying one or more residual regions within the volumetric data set, wherein the one or more residual regions comprise those regions not suitably modeled as parallel regions based on a threshold criterion;
- and
- displaying the one or more residual regions or a graphic derived from the one or more residual regions for review.
