1. A method for extracting geologic faults from a 3-D seismic attribute cube, the method comprising: calculating a minimum path value for each voxel of the 3-D seismic attribute cube; extracting a fault network skeleton from the 3-D seismic attribute cube by utilizing the minimum path values which correspond to voxels within the 3-D seismic attribute cube; flood filling the fault network to identify a plurality of fault segments, labeling the fault segments, and creating a vector description of the fault network skeleton; subdividing the fault segments into individual fault patches wherein the individual fault patches are the smallest, non-intersecting, non-bifurcating patches that lie on only one geologic fault; and correlating the individual fault patches into a representation of geologic faults.
