Filed:

Aug 30, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/706002

Inventors:

Robert J. Withers - Plano TX
Shirley A. Rieven - Acton MA
Mary J. Cole - Plano TX

Assignee:

Atlantic Richfield Company - Los Angeles CA

International Classification:

G06F 1900

US Classification:

364421

Abstract:

A system and computer program for determining the location of a seismic event in an earth formation zone using seismic traces corresponding to the event collected from one or more sensors in the zone. A graphical data window is displayed of the seismic traces corresponding to the event, the traces representing observed arrival time signals from the sensors plotted with respect to time. A window of a base map of the positions of the sensors within the zone is also displayed. Displayed in the data window is a curve plotting calculated arrival time signals for the traces, the curve being developed from a user-selected one of the observed arrival time signals displayed in the data window and from a user-selected trial location of the event selected in the base map window. The program enables user-repositioning of the trial location in the base map window such that the displayed curve moves in correspondence with the repositioning of the trial location. The trial location is repositioned until an acceptable visual coincidence of the curve is reached with the observed arrival time signals of the traces to thereby yield the location of the event.

International Classification:

G06T 17/05
G01V 1/30
G06T 15/40

Abstract:

Method and system for 3-D imaging of subterranean geologic structures based on seismic data interpretations involves converting multi-Z polylines into single-Z line segments. The single-Z line segments have slopes that are either positive or negative and do not change signs. As a result, no point along the line segment has more than one value in Z. The single-Z line segments may then be grouped or assembled into lattices that may then be used to form single-z horizons. Such a method and system arrangement provide a far more efficient and less processing intensive way to render 3-D images of the geologic structures compared to existing solutions.

Abstract:

Method and system for 3-D imaging of subterranean geologic structures based on seismic data interpretations involves correcting mis-ties that arise as a result of orthogonal polylines failing to intersect due to inconsistencies in seismic interpretations. In some embodiments, the mis-ties may be corrected by adding a data point from one polyline at or near the mis-tie to the other polyline, and vice versa for the other polyline. The two data points are then adjusted so they coincide or merge. The merged data point is then used as intersection points for the polylines and associated with one another such that a change made to one intersection point is automatically made to the other inter-section point. In some embodiments, one or more neighboring data points on each polyline are adjusted to smooth out the polyline at the point of the corrected mis-tie.
