Abstract
A method of identifying regions in a subsurface that may be a hydrocarbon reservoir, the method including: extracting features from cross-attribute clusters; assigning a distance metric and linkage criterion in feature space; calculating, with a computer, a degree of anomaly for the cross-attribute clusters in the feature space; ranking the cross-attribute clusters in accordance with the degree of anomaly; and prospecting for hydrocarbons by investigating a subsurface region in accordance with the rankings.
