Horizon Math Examples

Example #1: Copying a Horizon

  1. Give your new horizon a name by clicking on HzMath01 under Target Horizon (New) and entering a new name, say horizon2. (Alternatively, you can select an existing horizon.)
  2. Double click on the T[x] of the horizon you wish to copy, say‘horizon1.
  3. The time equation should now read: horizon2 = T[horizon1].
  4. Click <Execute>.

Example #2: Adding a Constant Time Shift to a Horizon and Extracting the Amplitude of the New Horizon

  1. Give your new horizon a name by clicking on HzMath01 under Target Horizon (New) and entering a new name, say horizon2. (Alternatively, you can select an existing horizon).
  2. Double click on the T[x] of the reference horizon, say horizon1.
  3. Type + 15 from the keypad or from your keyboard.
  4. The time equation should now read: horizon2 = T[horizon1] + 15.

To extract the amplitudes of this horizon, we must define an amplitude equation.

  1. Select the check box next to Horizon Equation for Amplitude to make this box active.
  2. Select the AMP function key on the keypad.
  3. Copy the right-hand side of the time equation (T[horizon1] + 15) and paste it as a variable within AMP( ) (by clicking the right mouse button and selecting Copy or Paste).
  4. The amplitude equation should now read: horizon2 = AMP(T[horizon1] + 15).
  5. Click <Execute>.

Example #3: Time Gate Equations

Use the Horizon Equation for Time for time gate functions. Time gate functions take two horizons or constants as variables. Constants can also be used to express the time of a horizon plus or minus a constant. Enter the shallower horizon time as the first term.

horizon3 = RMS(T[horizon1],T[horizon2])

horizon3 = RMS(T[horizon1],1500)

horizon3 = RMS(T[horizon1]-100,T[horizon1] +100)
