Karst FeaturesSolution Enlarged Natural Fractures - Mississippian Reservoir, KansasSeismic Example
Comparison of coherence (left), most negative curvature from gridded, interpretation horizon(middle), and extracted volumetric most negative curvature (right) for the top Mississippian horizon. Note that oriented lineaments, which cannot be seen on the coherence map, are visible on the two curvature maps. Also not that the lineaments are better defined on the volumetric curvature map than on the horizon curvature map. These lineaments are interpreted to relate to solution-enhanced fractures that affect reservoir performance.
