Abstract:
A method includes receiving a seismic data volume comprising seismic information of subterranean formations and receiving a set of seismic traces of the seismic data volume. The method also includes, determining, along each seismic trace of the set of seismic traces, a set of seed points comprising minimum or maximum onsets. Further, the method includes sorting the set of seed points into a sorted set of seed points by absolute amplitude values of the set of seed points. Furthermore, the method includes generating a horizon representation of every seismic event in the seismic data volume by automatically tracking horizons throughout an entirety of the seismic data volume from the sorted set of seed points in an order of the absolute amplitude values of the sorted set of seed points. Additionally, the method includes generating a graphical user interface that includes the horizon representation for display on a display device.
