Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method for displaying seismic attributes in an open three-dimensional format is provided. The conventional two-dimensional variable-amplitude traces that represent the magnitude of a selected seismic attribute as a function of time are converted to three-dimensional format (21, 23, 25, 27 29, 31, 33, 35, 37). The three-dimensional traces are hung beneath a model of their corresponding data-gathering stations (28) to provide a forest of seismic traces in a wireframe environment (16). The open configuration of the seismic traces permits the interpreter to see a perspective view of the structure of the subsurface of the earth from any desired viewing angle.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed October 5, 1993 and granted December 18, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 5, 2013.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 5, 2015.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
