Abstract

Summary

Three different red-green-blue (RGB) blending techniques: spectral decomposition, Offset RGB and colour processing, and a total of five versions have been studied on a 3D seismic data set from the UK North Sea. The RGB blending results were extracted along a reservoir horizon comprising a sand channel reservoir, non-reservoir levees and braided slope channels. The image quality was assessed for vertical and lateral resolution, mapping capability of various reservoir features and ease of application. Colour processing provided the highest vertical resolution, whereas the results from Offset RGB proved to be comparable to those from spectral decomposition but included an AVO aspect. The standard implementation of spectral decomposition delivered the poorest results in this comparison.

RGB blending techniques of seismic data are in general a powerful way of visualizing and extracting geological information and features from seismic data. RGB blending workflows are available in many geoscience software applications and it is recommended to use the technique by geoscientists working with seismic data to extract more subsurface information than just using standard interpretation workflows.
