    • A computer implemented apparatus and method (Fig 3) for discovering hydrocarbon bearing formations yields a direct indication of hydrocarbon resulting from analyzing seismic amplitude data. The method uses an algorithm for determining a seismic attribute dip (DAD) (28) in which each sample point of each seismic trace in a survey is analyzed to determine a planar dip associated with the reflection point (20), and a normalized delta amplitude in the direction of dip. Displaying the DAD values in time slice or horizon slice (21) provides a direct indicator of hydrocarbons. The inventive method automatically analyzes each digitized data point in the survey by cross-correlating the traces reflected from a three-by-three array (21) of reflection points. This method involves cross-correlation of eight traces that are reflected from the perimeter of the three-by-three array of reflection points (24) with the single trace reflected from the central point in the array. The correlation is carried out over a predefined time window, and for a series of lags. A dipping plane is then trial fitted to amplitude events for the nine traces, including lagged traces, so that the cross-correlation coherency of traces in the array is optimized for a particular strike and dip position of the dipping plane. The strike and dip of the optimum plane is recorded for later use in calculating the DAD value.

    • A computer implemented method and apparatus is disclosed for automatically picking faults (24) in a recorded 3D seismic trace data volume (20). The method employs test planes, which are mathematically inserted into the same data volume (20) to approximate dip and azimuth of a potential fault plane surface (33). A large number of data points, which are selected points on the seismic traces, are defined within the seismic volume (20), such that each test plane positioned in the seismic volume (20) contains data points corresponding to at least a significant portion of traces. The method then determines a factor for each data point which is representative of the probability that the data point resides on a fault plane (33). This probability is based on planar discontinuity and average amplitude difference between corresponding traces in adjacent parallel test planes, and the method selects locations, in an x, y grid, of a strip of locations having high probability of residing on a fault surface (94). The strip of the selected locations is smoothed to a line and used to construct fault lineaments displays in seismic sections or time slices. The fault lineaments are stored in a computer data file (24) and conventional, stratigraphically enhanced, or other seismic data enhanced for seismic attributes is merged with the fault lineament files to create consolidated displays to aid interpretation of the data volume (33).
