Gather Attributes

An indispensable toolkit for analysing and processing image gathers.

  • 3D dip and azimuth
  • Convolution, deconvolution, fx decon
  • AGC & other gains (stacks & gathers)
  • Correlation & autocorrelation
  • Angle & offset muting of gathers
  • Dip, Q, Cadzow & k filtering
  • AVA stack rotation (EEI equivalent)
  • Header & trace interpolation
  • Band-pass filtering (stacks & gathers)
  • Intercept & gradient
  • Convert gathers between offset & angle
  • NMO corrections

Intercept and Gradient

Create volumes of Intercept and Gradient from gathers in real-time. Because these are complete volumes, you can use them like any other. For example: view them along arbitrary lines or time/depth slices; in stratigraphically flattened space; or draped on a horizon.

AVA Stack Rotations

Right: stack rotation of -62 degrees, highlighting a fluid effect in a sand wedge not obvious on the input angle stacks

AVA Stack Rotations are DUG’s implementation of Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI).  EEI can be defined as a constant angle projection of seismic data, designed to help discriminate between different AVA responses.

Different stack rotations or weighting functions can optimally enhance or suppress certain types of AVA. One of the many things you can learn from the Rock module is which rotation angle should highlight specific fluid and lithology effects.
