ABSTRACT:
Methods for scanning geophysical data sets to find geological entities with specific geophysical responses entail selecting a focus sub-volume and a background sub-volume proximal to the focus sub-volume. The sub-volumes include discrete sampling locations and are located within at least two geophysical data sets. Each discrete sampling location has associated data values. The background data volume and each data value are normalized. A determination is made to whether a data value is inside or outside of the background data. A distance value is associated with each determination. The distance values are evaluated to find discrete sampling locations with specific geophysical responses. The anomalous data points can be related to the presence of hydrocarbon or water bearing strata at the corresponding depth locations of the data points.
