Abstract:
Systems and methods for geochemical sampling grid locations on a seafloor. At least one of the methods includes generating, using received seismic data, an image representing an interpretation of a seafloor horizon surface; extracting, from the image and based on the seismic data, one or more discontinuity attributes of the seafloor horizon surface; extracting, from the image and based on the seismic data, one or more amplitude attributes of a window extending below the seafloor horizon surface; combining the one or more discontinuity attributes and the one or more amplitude attributes; and selecting, using the image and based at least partly on the combining, one or more locations of the seafloor horizon surface for sampling.
