ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods for processing and displaying seismic data to emphasize potential hydrocarbon bearing strata. The methods treat measured attributes from the seismic data as components of a vector, estimate a background vector which represents uninteresting geologic behavior, and then form at least one new attribute which quantifies departures from this uninteresting behavior. The new attributes(s) and other attributes are then appropriately displayed.
