Oil exploration data mining image processing

Abstract

In this paper, an oil exploration software is designed, introduced and implementation. The software is based on the procedures of oil exploration and seismic prospecting. In the environment of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with the C++ programming language, the standard SEG-Y seismic data is successfully transferred into visible geological sectional view and histogram chart, which makes the geologists obtain a quick access to the idea of geophysics structures of the target field. With more than one kind of color schemes to be chosen, geologists can highlight different geological structure of the seismic data. Implementation shows good performance of the designed oil exploration data mining image processing software.
