    2006 SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course: SEISMIC ATTRIBUTE MAPPING OF STRUCTURE AND STRATIGRAPHY

    ABSTRACT

    Seismic data are incredibly rich in information, including amplitude, frequency, and the configuration or morphology of reflection events. Seismic attributes, including volumetric estimates of coherence, dip/azimuth, curvature, amplitude texture, and spectral decomposition, can greatly accelerate the interpretation of newly acquired 3D surveys as well as provide new insight into old 3-D surveys. Successful use of seismic attributes requires both an understanding of seismic data quality and of sedimentary and tectonic processes. Participants in this one-day course will gain an understanding of the physical basis, geologic expression, and petrophysical calibration of seismic attributes. This course will address the following questions:

    • How can we use attributes to accelerate the interpretation of very large data volumes?
    • What is the impact of seismic acquisition
