Detection and characterization of fractures in reservoirs is important for maximizing hydrocarbon productivity and recovery efficiency. Seismic attributes like coherency and curvature that are derived from reflection seismic data are used to detect faults and fractures. In advanced seismic fracture detection technology, Automatic Fault Extraction from diffraction seismic data effectively detects finer scale features.
Read this article to learn how this methodology was applied to seismic data from the Padra Field in India.
