Abstract: Seismic Data Analysis with Time-Seiscrop Map Techniques

Marion R. Bones, Ben F. Giles, Edward R. Tegland

A simple procedure can be utilized to allow the geophysicist to view his seismic data in an amplitude, X-Y horizontal space context as well as a vertical-section presentation.

Several simple models introduce the concept of the time-Seiscrop (trademark of Geophysical Service, Inc.) map. The method is a logical approach to viewing 3-dimensional data. However, any reasonably spaced seismic grid may be viewed for both quality control of the processing and development of the structural interpretation.

Data examples over various structural features illustrate interesting interpretative uses of the processes. "Bright spots" and "flat spots" can be seen and easily identified and interpreted, particularly when shown as a color movie. Currently, commonly used data-collection methods can be readily modified to utilize this interpretative display technique.
