Abstract:
A method of utilizing seismic data attributes for interpreting seismic data from a region of the earth's subsurface, comprising:calculating values for a plurality of seismic data attributes of said seismic data; and generating combinations of calculated values for said plurality of seismic data attributes to generate an indication of shaliness of said region of the earth's subsurface; wherein said seismic data attributes comprise at least one of the following: a seismic data attribute indicative of thinness of subsurface strata, a seismic data attribute indicative of parallelism of subsurface strata, a seismic data attribute indicative of lateral continuity of subsurface strata or a seismic data attribute indicative of continuity consistency of subsurface strata.
