Title: Lee H Fairchild: Innovator in Seismic Data Imaging
Introduction
Lee H Fairchild is a notable inventor based in Mount Hood, Oregon. He has made significant contributions to the field of seismic data analysis, particularly through his innovative methods for imaging discontinuities in seismic data. His work is essential for understanding structural and stratigraphic features in geological formations.
Latest Patents
Fairchild holds a patent for a "Method for imaging discontinuities in seismic data using dip-steering." This patent describes a process for identifying structural and stratigraphic discontinuities in a 3-D volume of seismic data samples. The method involves selecting primary and secondary directions in the seismic data, identifying skeleton patches that represent seismic horizons, and calculating apparent dips in these directions. A filter is then applied to fill in values at data sample locations not within the identified patches, ultimately leading to the determination of a discontinuity volume based on calculated values.
