Abstract:
Systems and methods for identifying potential hydrocarbon traps in a subterranean region can include: receiving seismic data of the subterranean region, the seismic data acquired by at least one seismic sensor, the seismic data indicating positions of physical barriers to hydrocarbon flow in the subterranean region and using anisotropic lateral and upward erosion to identify possible locations of hydrocarbons.
