AVO crossplotting is a widely employed AVO analysis technique that has gained acceptance in the geophysical community over the past decade. Crossplotting AVO attributes such as the AVO intercept and gradient has proven useful in hydrocarbon diagnostics in unconsolidated clastic basins worldwide. Improved unde r s t and ing and interpretation of the crossplot results can be obtained through 3D visualization of the AVO crossplot. Modeled and observed 3D seismic crossplots through visualization techniques demonstrate the improved recognition of background trends and AVO anomalies which in turn improve interpretation and analysis.
