Patent ID: 8838391

Claim:
A system configured to identify a set of geologic features within a geologic volume of interest, the system comprising: one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising: a communications module configured to receive a plurality of offset stacks and/or angle stacks that represent energy that has propagated through the geologic volume of interest from one or more energy sources to one or more energy receivers, an individual energy source being physically separated from an individual energy receiver by a corresponding source-receiver offset, each individual offset stack being formed from a corresponding set of seismic traces having equivalent source-receiver offsets, each individual angle stack being formed from corresponding sets of seismic traces having equivalent source-receiver angles; an image volume module configured to determine attribute volumes representing attributes of the geologic volume of interest from the plurality of offset stacks and/or angle stacks such that from a given offset stack or angle stack a corresponding one or more attribute volumes are determed; a feature identification module configured to individually and collectively analyze the attribute volumes to identify geologic features within the geologic volume of interest represented in the individual attribute volumes; and an analysis module configured to determine a set of geologic features within the geologic volume of interest from the identified geologic features represented in the individual attribute volumes.
