Seismic Attributes, Their Classification And Projected Utilization

We define the “Seismic Attributes” as all of the measured, computed or implied quantities obtained from the<br>seismic data. Therefore, Attributes include complex trace attributes, seismic event geometrical configurations,<br>and their spatial and pre-stack variations. We have been able to classify these seismic attributes in a manner<br>that makes their utility more clearly identifiable. We review a classification scheme, the utilization of attributes<br>within each class, and the combined use of attributes to improve our ability to identify reservoir characteristics.<br>Examples are provided of attributes role in estimating the rock properties, depositional environment and<br>interpreting seismic facies.
