Abstract:
A method is described for identifying source rocks in a subsurface volume of interest. The method may include generating a trend-normalized reflectivity seismic attribute and calculating the location, thickness, organic richness and thermal maturity of the potential source rocks based on seismic data. The method may be executed by a computer system.
