The
quantification of geologic risk,
uncertainty and optimization of
hydrocarbon recovery are of paramount
importance in the oil & gas industry.
For improved quantification, modern
geoscientists rely heavily on multi-scale
and multi-physics numerical simulations of
geological processes. One of the biggest
challenges in designing process-based
simulations is the meshing of complex
geobody geometries observed in the seismic
or of idealized structural scenarios
discussed in workrooms. In this project,
we developed workflows for efficient
creation and meshing of some commonly
observed but challenging structural
geological scenarios which will be used as
templates in geomechanical scenario
modeling. In addition, we developed a
preliminary workflow for creating 3D
unstructured fault meshes from line
interpretations of real-world seismic data
thereby facilitating fast creation of
Mechanical Earth Models as a powerful
risking tool in O&G
exploration.
