  • Patent number: 12298465
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determination of real subsoil composition or structure characterized in that the method comprises: —reception of unmeshed model representing the real subsoil; —determination of a sediment trajectory in said model; —based on the sediment trajectory, determination of at least one parametric surface describing a sediment formation in said model; —based on the least one parametric surface, meshing the sediment formation in said model.

  • Publication number: 20220187497
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for forming a coarse-scale three-dimensional geological model of sedimentary structures, the method being implemented by a computer, and comprising: —forming a fine-scale three dimensional model of the sedimentary structures, by implementing steps of: o modeling a plurality of meshed sedimentary surfaces, the plurality of meshed sedimentary surfaces delimiting superposed layers of lithology, o forming an unstructured grid comprising a plurality of cells, wherein each cell extends between at least two sedimentary surfaces, o attributing petrophysical parameters to each cell of the grid, and o attributing, to at least some of the sedimentary surfaces, a transmissivity reduction coefficient, and —upscaling the fine-scale three dimensional model to obtain a coarse-scale three dimensional model comprising a plurality of cells, wherein each cell is associated to petrophysical parameters determined from the petrophysical parameters of the fine-scale model, and from the transmissivity

  • Patent number: 10379258
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining at least one combined proportion cube. For each one of a plurality of facies, the determination involves receiving a reference proportion cube, said reference proportion cube having a first average proportion, and receiving an auxiliary proportion cube. Furthermore, for at least one of a plurality of facies, the determination comprises the modification of the auxiliary proportion cube, wherein the modified auxiliary proportion cube has a second average proportion, and the second average proportion is at a distance that is lower than a predetermined distance of the first average proportion and the combination of said reference proportion cube and said modified auxiliary proportion cube.
