A method includes receiving seismic data of a subsurface. The method also includes color processing the seismic data to produce color-processed seismic data. The method also includes performing a seismic interpretation on the color-processed seismic data to identify regional geologic features. The method also includes performing first mapping along the regional geologic features to identify local geologic features. The method also includes extracting reservoir bodies from the local geologic features based upon the first mapping. The method also includes performing second mapping along the local geologic features to embed the local geological features into the regional geologic features. The method also includes delineating boundaries of reservoirs or seals in the subsurface based upon the local geologic features that are embedded into the regional geologic features. The method also includes de-risking a fluid prospect in a fluid reservoir based upon the boundaries of the reservoirs or the seals.
A method for evaluating a fluid prospect in a subsurface, the method comprising:
A computing system, comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
