Abstract
The present invention provides a new and improved method of displaying a plurality of seismic sections of geophysical data on two-dimensional surface in an isometric view, while the display so formed is a display of increased information content.
Claims9
A method of forming on a two-dimensional display surface an isometric seismic display to simulate a three-dimension view of seismic traces in plural seismic sections, obtained along a two-dimensional grid of survey lines comprising the steps of:
- a. assigning a two-dimensional, positional relationship on the display surface to the survey grid lines in terms of their respective lengths and intersection points on the display surface according to the isometric view to be formed;
- b. assembling the seismic traces in an order with respect to each other in accordance with the positional relationship assigned to their grid lines by computing horizontal and vertical co-ordinates for the beginning and ending of the seismic traces;
- and
- c. displaying the assembled seismic traces on the display surface wherein an isometric display is formed of the seismic traces with increased information content on the two-dimensional display surface.
