Stack QC
Overview
Stack slice QC generates arbitrary 2D lines, called
slices from your 3D prospect.
You specify the CMP spacing and grab radius for
each line. Traces can therefore be multiply
assigned to CMPs. This can take some time.
You pick a velocity field using semblance analysis
for each stack. This velocity field is throw-away;
it does not get exported.
You create stacks and can look at any two stacks
from the current slice.
The traces you stack are the actual un-decond
data you use for your refraction picking.
Stack QC Window
Accessed under Stacks
on the Menu Bar
Control Pane 1
You drive the
window from
here
Control Pane 2
This contains
the map and
map controls
Trace and
Semblance
Display Pane
This is where
you see
everything
Control
Pane 1
Stack display provides control over stack trace display
parameters: wiggle, fill color, trace excursion, etc.
Stack filter for applying simple bandpass filter and
some gain options
Salience experimental lets not go there
Auto picker experimental we are developing some
automatic velocity picking functionality
Azimuth for azimuthally limiting traces in the
semblance analysis and in the stack.
Semblance/Mute for setting min/max velocities in the
semblance and the stretch mute percentage
(** Bold italics indicate important, often used tabs.)
Control
Pane 1
Slice Manager this is where you select which
slice you want to work on
Statics for applying static corrections
Gather filter for applying a bandpass filter
and gain options
Stack manager this is where you actually
name your stacks and generate them
Gather display provides control over stack
trace display parameters: wiggle, fill color, trace
excursion, etc.
Resize bars
click and drag
You will see this dialog for creating a new 2D SEGY file.
Click D to
delete the
closest point to
the mouse.
Go back to the Velocity display and click the Recompute button again.
Break time
So, at this point we have:
Created a slice
Computed a velocity field.
Then click on the stack name in the drop down list, and click Load.
Applying statics
Now we will create a stack with
statics applied.
Conclusions
Slice stack QC is for checking the
quality of your statics solution.
You can create as many stacks as
you want.
The window only keeps one velocity
field at a time. You cannot save a
velocity field to retrieve it later.
You cannot export a velocity field to
another processing system.
