Automated Geometry Extraction From 3D Seismic Data

Classification tools are widely used in both 3D and 4D reservoir characterization, for example in mapping of 3D structures, lithological properties and production effects [1]. In this work we extent the application area of the classification methodology into automated interpretation of seismic reflectors. By classifying the seismic signal along reflectors we gain an improved automated interpretation that performs well also in structurally complex regions. Based on this classification methodology, we demonstrate automatic extraction of seismic reflectors and geo-bodies, and automatic fault displacement estimation.
