Seismic Attribute Mapping of Structure and Stratigraphy

Use of seismic attributes - for example volumetric estimates of coherence, dip/azimuth, curvature, amplitude texture, and spectral decomposition - requires understanding of data quality and sedimentary and tectonic processes. Viewers will gain an understanding of the physical basis, geologic expression, and petrophysical calibration of seismic attributes.

Seismic Attribute Mapping of Structure and Stratigraphy is a recording of the 2006 SEG/EAGE Distinguished Instructor Short Course presented by Kurt J. Marfurt. 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. Viewers of this DVD will gain an understanding of the physical basis, geologic expression, and petrophysical calibration of seismic attributes.
