Name
Energy -- Response attribute that returns the energy of a trace segment
Description
This attribute calculates the squared sum of the sample values in the specified time-gate divided by the number of samples in the gate. The Energy is a measure of reflectivity in the specified time-gate. The higher the Energy, the higher the Amplitude. This attribute enhances, among others, lateral variations within seismic events and is, therefore, useful for seismic object detection (e.g. chimney detection). The response energy also characterizes acoustic rock properties and bed thickness.
