  • Patent number: 10585199
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a lithology map. The method comprises receiving a geophysical attribute image comprising a plurality of points associated with geophysical attribute value, and receiving first information data representing a plurality of zones in the image, each point of the image being contained in a zone. For at least one point of the image, computing a uniform value associated with said point based on the geophysical attribute value and distributions values of the geophysical attribute values. The method further comprises receiving second information data representing geological probability value for a plurality of facies associated with the points of the image, and for at least one point of the image, determining a facies in the plurality facies based on the computed uniform value and the geological probabilities associated with said point.

  • Patent number: 10379241
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a truncation diagram for a pluri-Gaussin geological parameter estimation associated with a zone of a real subsoil. The method comprises receiving an auxiliary variable describing the zone, computing a normalized variable based on the auxiliary variable and determining a weighted probability map for the normalized variable, each point of the weighted probability map being in correspondence with a point, of the truncation diagram. Moreover for each point of the truncation diagram, the method further comprises determining an associated geological parameter based on the probability value of each point of the weighted probability map. The method is also used to adapt truncation diagram to global or local target, proportions of the facies model to built.

  • Patent number: 10310116
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a stacked model describing architectural elements from a plurality of architectural element. The method comprises selecting an architectural element, determining merged zone, the merged zone being function of the zone of the selected architectural element and zones of related architectural elements, determining a probabilistic zone, the probabilistic zone being a function of the merged zone, and determining a probabilistic superposition value associated with the determined probabilistic zone, the probabilistic superposition value being a function of the superposition value of the selected architectural element. The previous steps are repeated for each architectural element in the plurality of architectural elements. The method further comprises stacking every determined probabilistic zone in a stacked model according to the determined probabilistic superposition value associated therewith, and providing the stacked model.
