Abstract

Summary

This paper presents how an interactive method in spectral decomposition can facilitate and improve processes in exploration. This study focuses on the Maui field, located offshore New Zealand, in the Taranaki basin. Its aim is to emphasize specific geological features by interactively performing spectral decomposition at different locations on surfaces generated from a Relative Geological Time (RGT) model. This model is obtained thanks to seismic interpretation based on horizon auto-tracking trough a grid (Pauget et al., 2009) and its refinement. It provides a new way to achieve a strata-slicing into the seismic data and allowing a quick and interactive navigation throughout the surfaces. By combining this workflow with the analysis of frequency variations along geological events, it is possible to get an enhanced spectral decomposition of geological features from their averaged spectral signature (low, medium and high frequencies). Each one of these key frequencies was mapped on surfaces and blended into a Red-Green-Blue (RGB) viewer. Such a technique allows the interpreter to better highlight turbidite channels which were then extracted as geobodies with a high rate of confidence.
