Abstract:
A method is described for a manner of geologic analysis using seismic data. The method includes steps to produce improved amplitude versus angle (AVA) information that may be used for analysis of geologic features of interest including estimation of pore fluid content. The method assesses the probability of hydrocarbons in a subterranean reservoir based on seismic amplitude variations along offsets or angles for portions of a seismic horizon. The method may be executed by a computer system.
