Grid To Horizon

The Grid to Horizon application allows you to create horizons from grids. Because grids can exist where there is no seismic data, the values of the grid at each trace on the seismic is used.   The grid can be used to fill spaces, limited by trace and line increments, or limited using polygons.

General Information


Transfer Parameters

Input Grid: Select an existing grid to transfer to a horizon.

Output Horizon: Select the horizon to transfer the grid to. You can select an existing horizon, or type in the name of a new horizon.

Horizon Type: Select the type of horizon to output. This parameter has no effect when transferring to an existing horizon.

  • Standard: This is a normal horizon that can be displayed in the Seismic Viewer. The horizon contains both a structure and amplitude component. Initially the amplitudes will not be valid, but these can be calculated using the Snap/Extract Amplitudes dialog.
  • Computed Structure: The output horizon will contain a structure but no amplitude component.
  • Computed Amplitude: The output horizon will contain an amplitude but no structure component.

Vertical Units: Select the vertical units for the output horizon. Options are Milliseconds, Meters or Feet. This parameter has no effect when the Horizon Type is Computed Amplitude.

Depths are Subsea: Turn this on when the original grid z units are subsea depth. This parameter is only available when Vertical Units are set to Meters or Feet.

Transfer To: Specify how to transfer the grid to the horizon. The parameter is only meaningful when transferring the grid to an existing horizon.

Gaps only: Only transfer the grid to locations that do not already have a horizon pick. Use this to fill in holes in a horizon.

Gaps and existing picks: Transfer the grid to the horizon and overwrite any existing horizon picks that overlap the grid. Horizon picks outside of the grid bounds are not affected.

Horizon Destination Options: Specify the line and trace increment to use. This is useful when you are using an existing grid to help pick a horizon. By transferring only some picks you can then use these as seed pick for 3D Auto Picking, or for manually picking horizons.

Polygons: Open the Select Polygons dialog and select inclusion or exclusion polygons to restrict the geographical extents of the grid to horizon transfer.

Destination Seismic Lines

Select the destination seismic lines. Left click to select the seismic line, use the Ctrl key on your keyboard to select multiple lines, or select groups of lines from the Basemap. To help you make your seismic line selections, you can sort any column by left clicking on the column header, you can apply a filter (), or you can type a search string into the search bar to limit the list based on Name, or Owner information.

For additional selection and navigation options right click on the Destination Seismic Lines list to access the shortcut menu.

Include SEG-P: Turn this on to include SEG-P lines in the Available list. Horizons can be associated with SEG-P files.
