Faults/fractures role in oil exploration is invaluable. In this study, all determinative seismic attributes (with different insight to the data) were applied. To achieve an image including the results of all attributes, the geographical information system was used to integrate the resultant images of different attributes. To do this, the Laplacian filter was applied to sharpen the linear structures on computed attributes images. Then, a principal component analysis was applied to increase the clarity of fracture. Finally, comparing the result of the author's study with the output of neural network analysis proves that each method has its own advantages and their integration will fulfill the research objective.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
