Due to the importance of buried channels in the exploration and production of hydrocarbon reservoirs and the role of seismic attributes in identifying these channels, the present study investigates the effect of single-trace and multi-trace seismic attributes in determining buried channels. This study applied helpful single- and multi-trace seismic attributes in channel identification to seismic data. Then, implementing three different clustering methods, the sets of multi-trace, single trace, and all the attributes have been split into several classes. Besides, using two-dimensional Sobel filters enhanced the boundaries of different clusters. The correlation between the filtered values of the clustering of all the attributes with each set of single-trace and multi-trace seismic attributes illustrated that the correlation is significantly higher for single-seismic attributes. Therefore, it seems that the cheaper single trace seismic attributes are sufficient to determine the location of buried channels.
