Workflow development for post stack data enhancement and fault and fracture analysis
In this project the delineation of faults and fractures is demonstrated using an optimum workflow. Seismic attributes often provide a quick way to visualize the trends of faults and fractures, which are not visible in seismic amplitude information.
These set of information from different seismic attributes can be used to delineate fault geometry, and further it can be used to optimize well locations.
Out of all the attributes tested, polar dip being a directivity driven parameter that enhances the edges and sharpens of the fault to the best extent. As a result of this project it was found that for the analysis of the fractured zones, mean curvature brings out the most momentous results.
