Patent ID: 8346695

Claim:
A method of performing oilfield operations for an oilfield, the oilfield having a subterranean formation, comprising: collecting a first volume data set of seismic data and a second volume data set of seismic data; co-rendering a visually-melded scene, using a rendering unit, directly from the first volume data set and the second volume data set according to a co-rendering rule that, for spatial overlap of the first volume data set and the second volume data set, determines opacity of a voxel as a product or a sum of a first opacity associated with the first volume data set and a second opacity associated with the second volume data set, and color of a voxel as a product or an opacity weighted sum of a first color associated with the first volume data set and a second color associated with the second volume data set; displaying the visually-melded scene comprising a visualized geobody to a display unit, wherein the visualized geobody is represented by at least a portion of the first volume data set and at least a portion of the second volume data set; and adjusting the oilfield operations based on the visualized geobody.
