Abstract:
Automated data extraction and analysis techniques were applied to open-file 3D seismic volumes from the North West Shelf creating visual databases of virtually all peak and trough surfaces. Examples from the Gorgon, Glencoe and Bonaventure 3D seismic datasets reveal compelling evidence of upward fluid flow from the Triassic through the shallow subsurface to the seafloor. Further analysis of surfaces using new differential geometry techniques, provides quantitative object detection and insights into fluid flow related geomorphological processes.
