ABSTRACT:
A method for displaying seismic attributes in an open three-dimensional format is provided. The conventional two-dimensional variable-amplitude traces that represent the magnitude of a selected seismic attribute as a function of time are converted to three-dimensional format. The three-dimensional converted traces are hung beneath a model of their corresponding data-gathering stations to provide a forest of seismic traces in a wire-frame environment. The open configuration of the seismic traces permits the interpreter to see a perspective view of the structure of the subsurface of the earth from any desired viewing angle.
