Abstract
Method and system are described for generating a stratigraphic model of a subsurface volume. Measured geophysical data are converted into a vector volume () by assigning to each sample in each trace in the data volume a vector representing dip, azimuth or confidence. Then a labeled volume is generated from the vector volume by assigning a label to each sample in an initial trace (), then selecting a propagation pattern () and propagating the labels to other traces (). Horizons can be extracted () from the labeled volume, and utilized to enhance the process of producing hydrocarbons ().
