Abstract
A workflow is presented that facilitates defining geocontextual information as a set of rules for multiple seismic attributes. Modeling algorithms may be employed that facilitate analysis of multiple seismic attributes to find candidate regions that are most likely to satisfy the set of rules. These candidates may then be sorted based on how well they represent the geocontextual information.
Claims25
A 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:
- analyzing multiple input attributes of a geophysical or geological data volume using geocontextual modeling;
- calculating locations where there are configurations in the attribute space or in the geographical space that span the multiple input attributes and that obey a set of geocontextual rules;
- and
- scoring configurations in the data volume based on the calculations employing the geocontextual rules.
A non-transitory, computer-readable media, encoding one or more processor-executable routines, wherein the routines, when executed by a processor, causes acts to be performed comprising:
- defining a set of rules for multiple seismic data attributes based on geocontextual information defined by a user;
- analyzing multiple attributes of a seismic volume using the set of rules to identify candidate regions within the seismic volume;
- and
- identifying, classifying, or ranking the candidate regions based on how well each respective candidate region conforms to the rules.
A method for analyzing seismic data, comprising the acts of:
- accessing one or more rules related to multiple seismic data attributes, wherein the one or more rules comprise a set of spatial geocontextual rules;
- parsing the one or more rules to generate a formula;
- accessing a set of seismic attributes and computing a set of scores or classifications based on the set of seismic attributes and the formula;
- and
- outputting the scores or classifications.
