I really prefer this to conventionally tracking horizons in a grid!
Here's why:
- Interactive Tracking: Unlike traditional grid-based tracking, OpendTect's tracker operates seamlessly in a 3D scene, detecting amplitude variations along maxima, minima, or zero-crossings.
- Advanced Features: With an optional Dip-Steering license, you can leverage similarity, correlations, and seismic dip tracking.
- Dual Tracking Methods:
Seed Trace Method: Ideal for continuous user input. Start with high-confidence areas, gradually relax constraints, and make multiple passes. The result? A horizon that's quality-checked as you interpret, saving you editing time.
Parent Method: Best for easily trackable events. It extends the horizon from starting positions, though there's a slight risk of loop-skipping. - Filling Gaps: Any untracked areas? No worries. They can be filled using algorithms like the OpendTect dip-steered gridder.
If you've used it, I'd love to hear your thoughts. And if you haven't, give it a try and let me know how it goes.
You can download OpendTect for free from our website. Zero strings attached!
