Abstract

A method of geophysical prospecting using seismic trace attribute analysis for formation characterization. More particularly, a method for selection of seismic traces which most accurately represent the subsurface formation in the area of a seismic survey is disclosed. In one embodiment, inflection-point interval analysis is used to account for effects of local surfaces.
