Building Stratigraphic surfaces tied to well markers using a morphing-like approach - Application to Stratigraphich grid building

 abstract = { The construction of stratigraphie surfaces is a crucial step in 3D
geological modelling. In most reservoir studies, only a few seismic
events can be picked on the 3D sei smic block, and other geological
surfaces not seen an seismic can be picked at the wells and must be
interpalated between tlJese wells. Stratigraphie surfaces are built to get
a liner reservoir layering that will be used to guide the interpolation
of facies and petrophysical properties between wells. Such surfaces are
poorly constrained by "hard data", since they are only picked at the
wells. In addition, geological information about stratigraphy (pin chouts,
erosion) and structure (faults) can be used ta control the 3D
modelling operation. Not only vertical faults, but also dipping ones
must be handled. In this note, we present a new metllOd for building
stl'atigraphic surfaces from seismic top and base surfaces of a faulted
l'eservoir, taking into account well markers and geological information.
The algorithm is based on a morphing-like approach which allows the
construction of more surfaces within a reservoir unit, between the base
and top of this unit. We also show llOW these surfaces can then be used
ta control the construction of a 3D faulted stratigraphie grid within
tlle resel'voir unit. },
