ABSTRACT:
A method for processing three-dimensional seismic data to define areal boundaries of hydrocarbon reservoirs. 3-D Seismic data for an area having a producing well is examined to establish an attribute critical parameter that specifically relates to the reservoir structure. Having identified a parameter, the 3-D data can then be examined in a selected time window for presence of the critical parameter and X, Y gridding of its relative value. The relative values are then output to visual plot to provide a plan view of reservoir structure.
