Local Structural Attribute
Local structural azimuth is a straightforward attribute that is implemented to estimate the local azimuth of the seismic events. It is generally used to compute other seismic attributes which fulfil the orientation field of seismic reflectors. This attribute can be performed under three different methods which are event, gradient and principal component. For our project, we applied all the methods mentioned.
Event azimuth are implemented to display the downslope azimuth of the study area which are ranging approximately at 175° to 360°. According to Figure 1(a), we can observe a fault located at the lower region. The fault which may dip in azimuth is approximately 300°of north west direction. At the right limb of the seismic cross section, a small anticline can be detected. Possible fractures are found on the left limb at Xline 2444 (Figure 1(b)).
The purpose of applying gradient azimuth on the seismic data is to display the instantaneous azimuth of the sample neighbourhood. Based on Figure 1(c), two faults are observed at the upper section where one is in the black box on the left limb with the azimuth about 100° to 150° of south east direction and the other one is in the red box on the right limb with azimuth ranging approximately 100° to 125° of south east direction. However, fault in the red box are not clearly seen.
The principal component azimuth is applied to estimate the local azimuth from the estimated principal component analysis. According to Figure 1(d), no fault can be detected in this section but the horizons are present instead with the azimuth about the range of 75° to 125°.
