Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media geologic modeling are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving an identification of a type of architectural element in association with a first well in a subterranean domain, based at least partially on data collected from the first well, and determining one or more characteristics of the type of architectural element. The method may also include defining, using a processor, an architectural element of the type of architectural element, in a representation of the subterranean domain and in association with the first well, based on the one or more characteristics, and displaying, using the processor and a display device in communication therewith, the architectural element intersecting the first well in a model.
Claims18
A method for geologic modeling, comprising:
- receiving an identification of a type of architectural element in association with a first well in a subterranean domain, based at least partially on data collected from the first well;
- determining one or more characteristics of the type of architectural element;
- defining, using a processor, an architectural element of the type of architectural element, in a model representing the subterranean domain and in association with the first well, based on the one or more characteristics;
- defining a fence intersecting the first well and a second well;
- and
- displaying, using the processor and a display device in communication therewith, a representation of the model, wherein the architectural element intersects the first well in the model, and wherein displaying comprises displaying a geobody intersecting the fence in the model, the geobody representing one or more characteristics of the type of architectural element.
A computing system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a display device coupled with the one or more processors and configured to display an image;
- and
- a memory system comprising one or more computer-readable media storing thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the computing system to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving an identification of a type of architectural element in association with a first well in a subterranean domain, based at least partially on data collected from the first well;
- determining one or more characteristics of the type of architectural element;
- defining an architectural element of the type of architectural element, in a model of the subterranean domain and in association with the first well, based on the one or more characteristics, wherein defining the architectural element comprises defining the architectural element as intersecting a fence of the model;
- and
- displaying, using the display device, a three-dimensional geobody representing the architectural element in a three-dimensional visualization that is a representation of the model, wherein the geobody is displayed as intersecting the fence.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- causing a display device to display a three-dimensional visualization of a subterranean domain, the visualization including representations of a plurality of wells and a fence intersecting the plurality of wells;
- causing the display device to display a well section window including well logs collected in the plurality of wells, wherein the well logs are displayed in a quasi-spatial relationship;
- receiving an indication of an interval in one of the well logs displayed in the well section window, the interval being associated with a first well of the plurality of wells;
- receiving an identification of a type of architectural element in association with the interval;
- determining one or more characteristics of the type of architectural element;
- defining an architectural element of the type of architectural element, using the one or more characteristics of the type of architectural element;
- and
- causing the display device to display a three-dimensional geobody intersecting the first well and the fence, at least partially in the interval, and visually representing one or more of the characteristics of the architectural element.
