Abstract

A method for enhancing visual representation of a geologic feature in 3D seismic survey data, comprising the steps of: (a) generating a plurality of first attribute volumes, each comprising at least one characterising attribute, derivable from said 3D seismic data and different from the characterising attributes of any one of the other said plurality of first attribute volumes; (b) generating a plurality of filtered attribute volumes for each one of said plurality of first attribute volumes, utilizing a plurality of distinct filter settings at each one of said at least one characterising attribute; (c) generating a composite attribute volume by selectively combining one or more of said plurality of filtered attribute volumes so as to maximise visual detectability of said geologic feature.
