Popis: We present an interactive method for volume-based seismic facies mapping using seismic textural attributes and probabilistic neural networks. Textural analysis can quantitatively describe many aspects of the classic seismic facies description preformed by the interpreter. Stratigraphically-steered seismic texture is a quantitative, multi-trace (imagebased) attribute that mimics the visual process of the seismic interpreter more effectively than traditional trace-based attribute analyses do. Probabilistic neural networks (PNNs) are parallel implementations of a standard Bayesian classifier that can efficiently perform pattern classification. A primary advantage of the PNN is that it does not require extensive training. In the case of seismic analysis, a reliable seismic facies classification can occur with as little as one example per facies class.
