Abstract: Multi-Dimensional Seismic Displays

Kenneth A. Stewart, Raymond C. Farrell, John N. Campbell

Explorationists daily are required to interpret ever-increasing volumes of multidimensional data. Greater efficiency is available if data are presented to the interpreter in a graphically concise form.

Evaluation of seismic variables such as reflection strength, frequency content, phase, and interval velocity is simplified greatly by displaying these variables in color on the seismic sections. These displays take an even greater meaning when displayed in a 3-dimensional isometric form.

The reduction of complex data to a single display allows greatly enhanced decision-making by removing the problems of extrapolation, allowing the explorationist to concentrate on the kernel of the problem, i.e., the geologic implications of the data.
