Abstract

Disclosed is a method and associated computer program and apparatus for characterising changes within a subsurface volume between a first time and a second time. The method comprises obtaining first seismic data corresponding to the first time and processing this data to obtain a seismic image of the subsurface volume. This processing is reversed for relevant portions of the seismic image to obtain relevant portions of first seismic data. Changes within the subsurface volume between the first time and the second time are characterised by estimating the changes between second seismic data corresponding to the second time and the relevant portions of first seismic data.
