  • Method and system for processing a three-dimensional (3D) seismic dataset
    Patent number: 11333780
    Abstract: A method of processing a three-dimensional (3D) seismic dataset includes: producing a relative amplitude preserved (RAP) processed seismic volume that includes a reservoir from the 3D seismic dataset; decomposing the RAP processed seismic volume into a first iso-frequency volume; generating a first overburden sediment interval map and a first reservoir interval zone map for the first iso-frequency volume; generating and outputting a first ratio map for the first iso-frequency volume by dividing the first overburden sediment interval map by the first reservoir interval zone map; and characterizing a fluid content of the reservoir based on the first ratio map.
    Type: Grant
