PSEUDO 3D-iCube

The document discusses building a 3D seismic cube from 2D seismic datasets using dip constraint and trace interpolation. It explains that a set of 2D lines can be transformed into a single 3D cube through an algorithm that applies convergence models to newly created crosslines and inlines. The method requires dense, regular 2D lines and matching vintage seismic processing to build a reliable pseudo-3D cube. Benefits include greater data density, clear lateral geological continuity, and the ability to perform advanced analyses like instantaneous amplitude and frequency.

The Solution…….
• Building a 3D cube from 2D seismic sections using dip
constraint, trace interpolation.
• In general, a set of 2D lines covering a specific survey
area, can be transformed into a single 3D cube.
How is the 3D Cube being built?

• The method applies a convergence algorithm for the


newly created crosslines and inlines interpolation
models.
• These models are influenced by the number of acquired
seismic crosslines and inlines. Regular grids with
balanced number of crosslines and inlines will have
better interpolated, modeling results.
• On the other hand, the dominance of either directions
will lead to one-sided crosslines or inlines influence on
the interpolated, modeling results
Fundamentals of Pseudo 3D Processing

Pseudo 3D processing using proprietary Non-Linear Dip


interpolation method deals with sparsely 2D acquired seismic
data to generate 3D seismic volumes.

The method requires a regular grid but it has proven to


successfully handle irregular and arbitrary grid with sparse lines
up to 500m intervals even in complex geological structures.

The Requirements

Require dense and regular 2D lines to build a


reliable Pseudo 3D cube. The denser the
better.

Require the same vintage seismic processing.


A matching filter processing is required to
build a single 3D cube from several 2D dataset
with different processing filter.

The Initial Models

• Initial Inlines Model Initial Crosslines Model


Convergence Algorithm

Convergence model is obtained from the initial inline model and


initial crosslines model using a special application to merge both
initial datasets models onto a single convergence model, This
process can be run iteratively to produce the final model.

The application consists primarily of a filter designed to solve


dynamic errors between traces; similar but relatively more
complex than the residual static errors commonly used in seismic
processing.

The filter might be partially applied along the crosslines and/or


the inlines directions and preserves both frequency and
amplitude content as well as the 3D dip definition.
