Abstract
A method of generating a depositional sequence volume from seismic data is performed at a computer system having one or more processors and memory storing programs to be executed by the one or more processors. The method includes the following steps: receiving a seismic dataset, wherein the seismic dataset includes image values at a plurality of grid points of a 3-D subsurface model; identifying reflections at a first subset of the plurality of grid points and geological constraints at a second subset of the plurality of grid points of the 3-D subsurface model from processing the image values of the seismic dataset; and generating a depositional sequence volume for the 3-D subsurface model from the reflections at the first subset of grid points and the geological constraints at the second subset of grid points.
