摘要: A system and method is provided for restoring a 3D tomographic model of the Earth's subsurface geology from the present-day to a past restoration time. Whereas at the present time all faults represent active discontinuities, at a past restoration time some faults have not yet formed. Accordingly, the restored model divides the fault network into τ-active faults (discontinuous surfaces for faults that intersect the layer deposited at the past restoration time) and τ-inactive faults (continuous surfaces for faults that do not intersect the layer deposited at the past restoration time). A new 3D restoration transformation is also provided that uses linear geological constraints to process the restoration model in less time and generate more accurate geological images.

摘要: A method and system for computing and visualizing sedimentary attributes may include receiving, by a processor, paleo-geographic coordinates representing predicted approximate positions of particles of sediment deposited at a time period when a layer was originally formed. The processor may numerically compute or determine a sedimentation rate that varies laterally along the layer. The processor may determine a sedimentary attribute based on the lateral variation of the sedimentation rate along the layer with respect to the paleo-geographic coordinates. A monitor or display may display the sedimentary attribute of the layer in the present-day geological space.

摘要: Automatic propagation of real-world parent seismic images to efficiently generate a collection of realistic synthetic child training images to train a model for accurate automatic seismic interpretation. A 3D structural model in a present-day geological space (e.g., GB) depicting subsurface locations of particles (e.g., in region B) may be transformed by a 3D coordinate space transformation (e.g., uvtB) to a depositional space (e.g., G*B) depicting past depositional locations of those particles (e.g., corresponding depositional region B). A real-world parent image depicting subsurface locations of particles (e.g., in region A) may be transformed, via a forward transformation (e.g., uvtA), to a depositional seismic image in the depositional space of the three-dimensional structural model (e.g., G*A=G*B). A reverse transformation (e.g., uutB−1) may transform the depositional seismic image from the depositional space into synthetic child training images in the present-day geological space (e.g., GB) for training the model.

摘要: A system and method may model physical geological structures. Seismic and geologic data may be accepted. A three-dimensional (3D) transformation may be generated between a 3D present day model having points representing present locations of the physical geological structures and a 3D past depositional model having points representing locations where the physical geological structures were originally deposited. An indication may be accepted to locally change the 3D transformation for a subset of sampling points in a first model of the models. The 3D transformation may be locally changed to fit the updated subset of sampling points. A locally altered or updated version of the first model and, e.g., second model, may be displayed where local changes to the first model are defined by the locally changed 3D transformation. The transformation may also be used to extract geobodies in the past depositional model.
