ABSTRACT:
A method of geophysical exploration is described for transforming qualitative descriptors of seismic data into a quantifiable decision-making tool to estimate the formation properties as well as economic potential of a selected formation in the earth's subsurface. Qualitative descriptors of the waveform of seismic events contained in a first set of seismic signals are obtained and correlated with formation properties to obtain a series of one or more histograms. Qualitative descriptors of seismic events contained in a second set of seismic data can be obtained and transformed into estimates of formation properties as well as estimates of the economic potential of a selected formation for producing hydrocarbons employing such histograms.
