The anatomy of AVO crossplots
2000
AVO crossplots are a simple and elegant way of representing AVO data. Offset variations in amplitude for reflecting interfaces are represented as single points on a crossplot of intercept and gradient. The advantage of this type of plot is that a great deal of information can be presented and trends can be observed in the data that would be impossible to see with a standard offset (or angle) versus amplitude plot. The crossplot is an ideal way of examining differences in AVO responses that may be related to lithologic or fluid-type variations. Commonly used techniques for revealing these differences include color-coding samples from the crossplot and using this as an overlay to a seismic display or creating weighted (or “equivalent angle”) stacks (i.e., linear combinations of intercept (R0) and gradient (G).
