Automated fault uncertainty analysis in hydrocarbon exploration

A method comprising:

• accessing, by a processor, a plurality of seismic images of a subterranean formation in a first geological area;
• generating, by the processor, a plurality of fault estimates from each of the plurality of seismic images;
• generating, by the processor, a processed seismic image of the first geological area by normalizing and merging the plurality of seismic images and the plurality of fault estimates;
• and
• generating, by the processor, a statistical fault uncertainty volume of the first geological area using the processed seismic image.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code that is executable by a processor for causing the processor to:

• access a plurality of seismic images of a subterranean formation in a first geological area;
• generate a plurality of fault estimates from each of the plurality of seismic images;
• generate a processed seismic image of the first geological area by normalizing and merging the plurality of seismic images and the plurality of fault estimates;
• and
• generate a statistical fault uncertainty volume of the first geological area using the processed seismic image.
