Abstract: A method of representing and using fractures in a model of a subterranean reservoir is described including the partitioning the fracture network into a discretely modeled part and a remaining statistically described part from a statistical description of all fractures, the determination of the correlation effects caused by fractures with dimensions exceeding dimension of the local grid cells and the determination of petrophysical properties while allowing for arbitrary distribution of facture orientations, with all three aspects being combinable to improve the modeling of fractures and the simulation of fractured reservoirs.

Abstract: A method to model a subterranean formation of a field. The method includes obtaining a seismic volume comprising a plurality of seismic traces of the subterranean formation of the field, computing, based on the seismic volume, a seismically-derived value of a structural attribute representing a structural characteristic of the subterranean formation, computing, based on a structural model, a structurally-derived value of the structural attribute, the structural model comprising a plurality of structural layers of the of the subterranean formation, comparing the seismically-derived value and the structurally-derived value to generate a difference value representing a discrepancy of modeling the structural attribute at a corresponding location in the subterranean formation, and generating a seismic interpretation result based on the difference value and the corresponding location.

Abstract: A method can include providing a mesh of a geologic environment that includes conformable sequences and an unconformity; interpolating an implicit function defined with respect to the mesh to provide values for the implicit function; and identifying an iso-surface based on a portion of the values where the iso-surface represents the unconformity as residing between two of the conformable sequences.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and program product may utilize a stratigraphic implicit function, e.g., as used in connection with volume based modeling, to generate structural information for a subsurface formation. In particular, structural information for a subsurface formation may be generated by determining a location in a volume of interest in the subsurface formation from subsurface formation data associated with the subsurface formation, accessing a numerical model having a monotonously varying stratigraphic implicit function defined within the volume of interest to determine a value of the stratigraphic implicit function corresponding to the determined location, and generating at least one structural element for the subsurface formation from the stratigraphic implicit function of the numerical model based upon a spatial distribution of the determined value within the volume of interest.
