Abstract
Method for generating a new family of seismic attributes sensitive to seismic texture that can be used for classification and grouping of seismic data into seismically similar regions. A 2D or 3D data analysis window size is selected (), and for each of multiple positions () of the analysis window in the seismic data volume, the data within the window are transformed to a wavenumber domain spectrum (). At least one attribute of the seismic data is then defined based on one or more spectral properties, and the attribute is computed () for each window, generating a multidimensional spectral attribute data volume (). The attribute data volume can be used for inferring hydrocarbon potential, preferably after classifying the data volume cells based on the computed attribute, partitioning the cells into regions based on the classification, and prioritizing of the regions within a classification.
