ABSTRACT
Deep-water lithofacies predictions
were made in the Green Canyon area of offshore Louisiana using seismic
facies analysis of 3-D data within a sequence stratigraphic framework.
The versatility of the computer workstation and the high lateral resolution
of the 3-D seismic data allowed us to identify stratigraphic boundaries
and distinguish internal characteristics. Multiple flattened horizon slices
were excellent for viewing the detailed geomorphic shapes and positions
of depositional systems. Lithofacies maps of stratigraphic intervals were
made quickly from seismic facies maps using volume attribute analysis and
calibrated with well logs and selected seismic profiles.
