Abstract:Time-lapse seismology is an advanced geophysical technology which is called 4-D seismology in recent years. In this paper, some key technologies are analyzed, the concept and concrete data structure of flow-units in time-lapse seismology are given. Simultaneously, the way how to increase interpretation points on sections and slices during flow-units interpretations are discussed detailedly. The treatment effects are shown based on an actual example also.
