Applying the concept of texture analysis in image processing technology to seismic oil and gas exploration, on the one hand, enrich the content of texture analysis, on the other hand, provide a new approach for seismic oil and gas exploration. On the basis of collecting and organizing the relevant literature, this paper summarizes the progress of seismic texture analysis in the following three aspects: ① In terms of the development of the seismic texture analysis, it developed earlier but the application is a little late, especially in the domestic; ② In terms of the algorithm of seismic texture analysis, there are two methods being widely used: the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and the texture model regression analysis (TMR); ③ In terms of the application of seismic texture analysis in oil and gas exploration, it is mainly introduced in seismic structural interpretation, seismic facies classification, and prediction of reservoir characteristics. Finally, the author draws the conclusions from the trend of development: with the continuous development of the seismic texture analysis algorithm, the application of the technology will be further expanded in the field of hydrocarbon exploration. Not only in clastic rocks, but also in carbonate rocks and even unconventional oil and gas will be applied. Therefore, it has a very broad development prospects.
