Abstract
The interactive inspection of numerical reservoir models constitutes a real challenge for visualization technologies. This paper proposes a carving-based visualization method for reservoir grids. It allows users to mine the reservoir with a variable sized cursor so as to visualize some parts of the reservoir while keeping the context. Protection zones are used to prevent carving of areas of interest, e.g. neighbohood of wells. This tool is implemented first on CPU in the open source reservoir visualization software ResInsight [Dale et al., 2012] based on Qt and OpenGL from Ceetron and Statoil. Then, for better performance, we propose a second stand alone GPU implementation based on OpenCL and OpenGL.
