Dear Paul,

Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. We will consider for sure to get OpendTect Pro. If my advisor decides to get it, I'd like to know if you have any recommendation of an appropriate workstation model to work with a great volume of 3D seismic data in OpendTect Pro or if you have some recommendations of mandatory parameters for this workstation, as RAM memory or video card, for example.

Again, thank you so much for your availability

Best regards,
Maria Eulália Alberton

Dear Users,
 
I'm trying to get a Z-slide in reflectors below the first one, in an attemp
to reconstruct paleobathymetry. I'd like to know if there's a reccomended
way to do it, as I tried the manual and automatic way of tracking and it
doesn't generate an entire horizon to generate the z-values, even in
parallel reflector. I also tried to apply cosine phase attribute to see if
the horizon recogniton gets easier, but I still couldn't do it. In
attachment is part of my OpendTect screen display.
 
Thank you so much for your attention, I look forward for your reply
 
Best regards,
Maria Eulália Alberton

Hi Maria,
 
If I understand you correctly you want to slice through the seismic data
parallel to the seabed reflector. This can be done in two ways:
 
1. Right-click on the horizon entry in the tree (or in the scene) and
select Workflows -> Create Flattened Scene. (Alternatively, you can launch
this from the Scenes->New[Horizon Flattened]->3D menu.) In the flattened
scene add a time-slice (or a volume viewer so you can movie-style inspect
time-slices)
2. Right-click on the horizon in the tree (or in the scene) and select
Tools -> Shift ... In the window that pops up select the seismic data and
Calculate. Now, you can use the slider to inspect the seismic amplitudes
extracted parallel to the input horizon in the specified time-gate. Note
that as you slide up and down, the horizon in the tree changes its name to
reflect the vertical shift. You can save each shifted horizon as a new
horizon in the database.
 
Best regards,
 
Paul.

Dear Paul,
 
I'm trying to extract using a reflector parallel to the seabed reflector
only for testing, but I need to extract the Z-slice in deeper reflectors
and preferably in the ones I can identify in my interpretation, not only
parallel ones. I've already tried to use a time slice, but as I need to
reconstruct a paleosurface, this method isn't so interesting for this
project. So, I'd like to know if there's a recommended way to do it, since
when I try to trace the new horizon, it's never available to generate the
slice.
 
Thank you so much for your attention and availability,
Best regards,
Maria Eulália Alberton

Hi Maria,
 
It sounds like using a HorizonCube might be the approach you're looking
for. This creates a dense collection of horizons, each representing a
paleosurface. You can then examine your data by either slicing through it
using a 3D HorizonCube slider or by flattening the seismic data based on
all the horizons within the HorizonCube. This flattened view is known as
the Wheeler domain, where the vertical axis represents Relative Geologic
Time. Consequently, time-slicing within the Wheeler domain allows you to
analyze your data in terms of (relative) geologic time.
 
To generate a HorizonCube, the initial step involves mapping a framework of
key horizons. This is typically done using one of OpendTect's
inversion-based horizon trackers. These trackers are efficient, offer full
user control, and can track multiple horizons concurrently by minimizing
the discrepancy between the horizon dip and the seismic dip. After defining
the framework horizons, the intervals between them are filled with a dense
set of additional horizons. This infilling process can be guided by a model
(e.g., proportional, parallel to upper, parallel to lower horizons) or
driven by the data itself (inversion-based, or tracking the dip-field).
 
Please note that to utilize these functionalities, you will need licenses
for OpendTect Pro, the Dip-Steering plugin, the HorizonCube plugin, and the
SSIS plugin. The SSIS plugin is specifically required if you intend to
analyze your data within the Wheeler domain.
 
You can find helpful training videos and webinars on our website that
demonstrate these workflows. For instance, this training video
<https://youtu.be/ZDdItreORiQ> illustrates how to track horizons using
inversion-based algorithms.
 
I hope this explanation is helpful.
 
Best regards,
 
Paul

Hello Maria,

That information is on OpendTect pages... Saludos
