Multi-Z horizon auto-tracking
Abstract:
Systems and methods for automatically tracking multi-Z horizons within seismic volumes are provided. A surface from a plurality of surfaces identified at different depths for a multi-Z horizon within a seismic volume is selected. A seed point corresponding to the selected surface is determined. The selected surface is tracked over new data points through the seismic volume. Tracking each new data point involves comparing a depth of the new data point with depths associated with other surfaces and determining whether the depth of the new data point honors a geological boundary rule for maintaining a relative depth position of each of the plurality of surfaces within the multi-Z horizon, based on the comparison. When the depth of the new data point honors the rule, the selected surface is extended to include the new data point and, when it does not, the new data point is discarded.
