Abstract

A least one seismic attribute is determined for each voxel of the seismic volume. A first horizon is selected for mapping and a sparse global grid is generated which includes the horizon, at least one constraint point identifying the horizon, and a number of points having a depth in the seismic volume. A value of at least one seismic attribute is determined for each point and their depths are adjusted based on the value of the seismic attribute. A map of the horizon can be generated based on the adjusted depths. Multiple local grids can be generated based on the sparse global grid, and the depths of the local grid points adjusted to generate a map of the horizon at voxel level resolution. The seismic volume can be mapped into multiple horizons, where previously mapped horizons can function as constraints on the sparse global grid.
