| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6850864 | Method for analyzing dip in seismic data volumes A method of analyzing dip in a seismic data volume in which a horizontal gradient is calculated in a first direction in the seismic data volume. A vertical gradient is calculated at data locations in the seismic data volume corresponding to the locations at which th... | 02/01/2005 |
| 6791900 | Method of calculating a throw volume for quantitative fault analysis A method of calculating a throw volume corresponding to a seismic data volume. A range of time shifts and a search direction for the seismic data volume are selected. A data location separation and a vertical time window are also selected. A cross-correlation is cal... | 09/14/2004 |
| 6757615 | Method for automated horizon transfer and alignment through the application of time-shift volumes Seismic horizons are transferred between two three-dimensional seismic data volumes which cover the same area. The seismic data volumes are time-aligned to generate a time-shift volume. A seismic horizon is selected and the time-shift volume is applied to the seismi... | 06/29/2004 |
| 6757217 | Method for time-aligning multiple offset seismic data volumes Near-offset and far-offset seismic data volumes are time-aligned by first selecting a plurality of time shifts. The near-offset and far-offset seismic data volumes are cross-correlated at the plurality of time shifts. An initial time-shift volume and a maximum corre... | 06/29/2004 |
| 6757216 | Method for post processing compensation of amplitude for misaligned and misstacked offset seismic data A method for assessing the suitability of seismic data for quantitative amplitude analysis, where the concern is excessive residual normal moveout (RNMO). The invention uses a near offset stack and a far offset stack, the time difference between the two, a mute patt... | 06/29/2004 |
| 6662111 | Method for analyzing reflection curvature in seismic data volumes A method of calculating reflection curvature in a seismic data volume wherein an apparent dip value is calculated in a first direction to generate a first apparent dip volume. A horizontal gradient is calculated in the first direction in the first apparen... | 12/09/2003 |
| 6662112 | Method for classifying AVO data using an interpreter-trained neural network AVO anomalies are classified in near-offset and far-offset seismic data volumes, by first calculating a plurality of initial AVO seismic attributes representative of the offset seismic data volumes. A probabilistic neural network is constructed from the c... | 12/09/2003 |
