Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for constraining a range of rock properties and confirming and/or specifying dependencies between rock properties of geobodies associated with a geologic volume of interest, the method comprising: identifying geobody representations that represent geobodies in the geologic volume of interest, the geobody representations being interpreted from individual ones of a plurality of multi-offset-multi-attribute image volumes, wherein a given one of the multi-offset-multi-attribute image volumes (1) corresponds to one of the offset stacks, angle stacks, or azimuth stacks, (2) is associated with one of the attributes, and (3) includes geobody representations of geobodies present in the geologic volume of interest; receiving assignments of geobody types corresponding to the identified geobody representations based on geologic principles, stratigraphic principles, and/or an analog database; determining one or more property constraints for one or more rock properties of the geobodies in an earth model and/or a velocity model associated with the geologic volume of interest by constraining a range of rock properties associated with individual ones of the geobodies based on geologic principles, stratigraphic principles, and/or an analog database; and verifying the one or more property constraints based on one or more of dependencies between the one or more rock properties, well data logs, data derived from well data logs, or local geological knowledge of the geological volume of interest.
