Time and horizon slices through volumetric dip can delineate faults, folds, channel edges, karst collapse, and many other geologic features of interpretation interest. While less commonly used in interpretation presentations than coherence, amplitude, impedance, and even curvature attributes, accurate estimates of volumetric dip are critical to the accurate calculation of all geometric attributes and to structure-oriented filtering, and is a key component in the emerging seismic geochronology analysis software. Multiple software platforms provide different volumetric dip calculations, with one vendor providing no less than four different algorithms. While not exhaustive, in this case study we apply four of the more common volumetric dip computations estimate volumetric dip using an offshore New Zealand 3D seismic survey.
