  • Automatic non-artificially extended fault surface based horizon modeling system
    Patent number: 6138076
    Abstract: An automatic, non-artificially extended, fault surface based horizon modeling method and apparatus produces a final faulted horizon model which is a three dimensional representation of a faulted earth formation including all the horizons and all the faults in response to seismic data, well log data, and fault surfaces and relationships data. The horizon modeling apparatus produces the final faulted horizon model by filtering input horizon data and removing bad (wrong-sided) data points.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 10, 1999
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2000
    Assignee: GeoQuest, a division of Schlumberger
    Inventors: Kermit E. Graf, Apostol T. Vassilev
