Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Method and system is described for modeling one or more geophysical properties of a subsurface volume. The method includes extracting locations from the data volume and combining them into an object, for example a horizon. The extraction may begin with selecting one or more initial traces, assigning labels to each sample of each trace, selecting a propagation pattern, and propagating the labels from the initial traces along a vector volume. Then, locations with the same label are extracted ( 1106 ). As an alternative to label propagation, a specific type of labeled volume ( 1102 ) may be obtained, such as a stack of surfaces ( 1132 ). The object may then be further modified or utilized to enhance the process of producing hydrocarbons.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of converting measured data into a subsurface model comprising: obtaining a labeled volume associated with a subsurface volume, wherein the labeled volume has a plurality of traces and each of the plurality of traces include a plurality of samples and each sample is associated with a surface number; obtaining a surface number perturbation map; selecting a surface number in the labeled volume; extracting locations in the labeled volume as…
