Abstract
Seismic data obtained from a seismic survey conducted of a subterranean region is received. The seismic data includes multiple frequency components, having a frequency bandwidth. A target, to-be-picked horizon is identified by displaying well data on the seismic section and correlating the seismic reflector with layer tops in the well data. A horizon represents a seismic reflector between two geological layers in the subterranean region. A single frequency that gives rise to a predetermined continuity along the target horizon is determined from the frequency bandwidth of the seismic data. The seismic data is filtered to mono-frequency volumes. The mono-frequency seismic volumes include a single frequency component. A horizon is picked corresponding to the target horizon based on the mono-frequency volumes. The identified horizon corresponding to the target horizon is output for determining geological features of the subterranean region based on the identified horizon.
