3-D seismic attributes applied to carbonates

Coherency mapping has become a widely used tool within Amoco and is being applied in both frontier exploration and exploitation areas. Coherency and other 3-D seismic attributes have been successfully used to identify and delineate features in clastic depositional environments, including reworked deltaic sand bodies, deltaic channels with associated point bars, slump features, debris flow outrunner blocks, and various geologic drilling hazards including faults, salt diapirs, buried channels, and shallow gas pockets.
