Abstract
2D slices/images may be extracted from a three-dimensional volume of subsurface data. Image comparison analysis across sequential 2D slices/images may identify boundaries within the corresponding subsurface region, such as changes in style of deposition or reservoir property distribution. Identification of temporal/spatial boundaries in the subsurface region where subsurface properties change may facilitate greater understanding of the scales and controls on heterogeneity, and connectivity between different locations.
