Abstract: Geologic modeling methods and systems disclosed herein employ fault face parameterization to constrain and improve the transformation of a faulted physical space geologic model into an unfaulted depositional space geologic model. An illustrative embodiment includes: associating a seismic image with each face of at least one fault in a subsurface region; determining a correspondence map between the seismic images for said at least one fault; parameterizing the faces using the correspondence map to match parameter value assignments for corresponding portions of the faces; creating a displacement map that draws together matching parameter values to align the corresponding portions of the faces; applying the displacement map to the geologic model to create a design space model; modifying the design space model; applying the displacement map in reverse to the modified design space model to obtain a modified geologic model; and outputting the modified geologic model.

Abstract: Geologic modeling methods and systems disclosed herein employ an improved simulation gridding technique. For example, an illustrative geologic modeling method may comprise: obtaining a geologic model representing a faulted subsurface region in physical space; mapping the physical space geologic model to a design space model representing an unfaulted subsurface region; gridding the design space model to obtain a design space mesh; partitioning cells in the design space mesh with faults mapped from the physical space geologic model, thereby obtaining a partitioned design space mesh; mapping the partitioned design space mesh to the physical space to obtain a physical space simulation mesh; and outputting the physical space simulation mesh.

Abstract: Geologic modeling methods and systems disclosed herein employ an improved simulation meshing technique. One or more illustrative geologic modeling methods may comprise: obtaining a geologic model representing a faulted subsurface region in physical space; providing a set of background cells that encompass one or more partial faults within the subsurface region; defining a pseudo-extension from each unterminated edge of said one or more partial faults to a boundary of a corresponding background cell in said set; using the pseudo-extensions and the background cell boundaries to partition the subsurface region into sub-regions; deriving a simulation mesh in each sub-region based on the horizons in each sub-region; and outputting the simulation mesh.

Abstract: Geologic modeling methods and systems may use design-space to design-space mapping to facilitate simulation grid generation for multiple interpretations of a subsurface region. As one example, one or more embodiments of a geologic modeling method may comprise: obtaining first and second geologic models having different structural interpretations of a subsurface region; mapping each of the geologic models to associated design space models representing an unfaulted subsurface region; determining a design-to-design space mapping from the first design space model to the second design space model; using said mapping to copy parameter values from the first design space model to the second of the design space model; gridding each of the design space models to obtain design space meshes; partitioning cells in the first and second design space meshes along faults; reverse mapping the partitioned design space meshes to the physical space to obtain first and second physical space simulation meshes.

Abstract: An illustrative geologic modeling method may comprise: obtaining a geologic model representing a subsurface region in physical space, the subsurface region being divided into multiple zones; sequentially generating a physical space simulation mesh for each of said multiple zones by: (a) mapping a current zone of the physical space geologic model to a current zone of a design space model representing a current zone of an unfaulted subsurface region; (b) gridding the design space model to obtain a design space mesh; (c) partitioning cells in the current zone of the design space mesh with faults mapped from the current zone of the physical space geologic model, thereby obtaining a partitioned design space mesh for the current zone; and (d) reverse mapping the partitioned design space mesh for the current zone to the physical space for the current zone.
