A new 3‐D skeletonization technique based on a four‐cycle correlation allows automatic event detection and mapping of surfaces in any 3‐D volume of reflection seismic data. Interpretation results are comparable to those derived using conventional 3‐D interpretation packages. Furthermore, a product of skeletonization is a surface file containing a variety of seismic attributes for each identified surface that can be accessed for detailed statistical analysis.
