  • Methods and systems for gridding of salt structures
    Patent number: 11714208
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for gridding of subsurface salt structures include determining a predetermined area lacks three dimensional seismic coverage, generating a two dimensional seismic top salt interpretation for the predetermined area, generating a bathymetry elevation of the predetermined area, determining that at least one two dimensional seismic line intersects a bathymetric feature of interest, and determining a correlation coefficient between the two dimensional seismic top salt interpretation and the bathymetry elevation. The method may further include determining the correlation coefficient is greater than a predetermined threshold value, and applying the bathymetry elevation as an additional control for gridding top of the subsurface salt structure. The step of gridding the top of the subsurface salt structure may further include applying at least one of kriging with external drift (KED), polygon-based approaches, regression-kriging, and other geostatistical methods.
