Seismic Attributes Should …
• Be unique
• Have clear and useful meaning
• Subset the information
• Not be defined by resolution
• Not be overly sensitive
• Be well designed

Duplicate Attributes are Legion
Duplicate attributes contain the same information.
They look alike and show strong correlation.
Many common amplitude, discontinuity, and other
attributes are duplicates.
You only need one attribute to measure a given
seismic property!

• Arc Length ~ Reflection Heterogeneity
• Response Attributes = Wavelet Attributes
• Covariance Disc. = Eigenstructure Disc. = Amoco C3
• Spectral Variance ~ Bandwidth
• Quadrature Trace = Imaginary Trace ≠ seismic attribute

• Too many duplicate attributes
• Too many obscure attributes
• Too many unstable attributes
• Too many poorly designed attributes
