  • Patent number: 11163079
    Abstract: The method for producing a geological vector model (GVM) based on seismic data includes the step of forming a Model-Grid, which includes creating a network of small units, called patches, to which a relative geological age is assigned, a set of patches with the same relative geological age corresponding to a geological layer, called the geological horizon. The method includes the step of sampling the Model-Grid in two directions perpendicular to each other, enabling the Model-Grid to be sampled in a plurality of vertical planes and the step of forming two-dimensional geological vector models (2DGVM). The step of forming includes forming two-dimensional horizons (Hb) with distinct relative geological ages using the patches belonging to each sampled plane, each two-dimensional geological vector model (2DGVM) corresponding to a vertical plane originating from the sampling of the Model-Grid.

  • Patent number: 8566069
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for developing a geological model from previously collected seismic data, including the steps of: sampling seismic data according to at least one set of traces of a predetermined gradient, each of which have sampling points; analyzing similarities between the seismic data around sampling points; determining connections between sampling points that belong to different traces on the basis of analysis; and forming a geological model that attributes, to each sampling point, a relative geological age that is calculated at least on the basis of connections related to the sampling points and the relative geological age of other sampling points in the vicinity of the trace that includes the sampling point.
