Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Self-consistency and/or differences between volume images and interpreted spatial/volumetric context may be exploited for improving seismic imaging and estimation of attributes of geobodies, in accordance with one or more embodiments. Exemplary embodiments allow exploitation of positional and/or shape discrepancies and/or similarities of geobodies in image volumes associated with a geologic model of a geologic volume of interest to improve the accuracy of the geologic model and/or the image volumes. Constraints associated with the geologic volume of interest may be determined and/or utilized to confirm and/or specify dependencies between attributes that are potentially associated with individual geobodies.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 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…
