Abstract

See full text

A device, system and method for a structure and stratigraphy preserving transformation of a geological model. A fault may be sealed in a fault zone surrounding the fault in a geological model by unifying topological elements on opposite sides of the fault. The fault zone may be emptied of cells and the fault zone surrounding the sealed fault may be remeshed with new cells interior to the boundary. The fault may then be unsealed by partitioning the mesh along the fault into one or more fault blocks and duplicating the topological elements on opposite sides of the fault. Cells adjacent to the unsealed fault may be remeshed so as to remove sliver cells. The geological model may be updated by remapping the fault blocks into the geological model. The updated geological model may be stored.
