Definitions
- the present invention general ly relates to modeling three-dimensional (3 D) geological structures. More particularly, the present invention relates to an integration method for maximum continuity interpolation in 3D geological modeling.
- geostatistical software describes the pattern of spat ial variation in geological properties (e.g. porosity and permeability) using a variogram model that quanti fies the average of expected variability as a function of distance and direction.
- geological properties e.g. porosity and permeability
- the range (or scale) of correlation will be large and in reservoirs, where the geological characteristics change quickly over short distances, the range (or scale) of correlation will be smaller.
- the range of correlation may be directional ly independent. This phenomenon is very common in sedimentary environments, especially in those where the primary mechanism of transport during sediment deposition is wind or water, which results in highly channelized structures such as deltaic channels. Iluvial deposits, turbidites and the like. These environments usually demonstrate a large degree of correlation variation between directions along the channel axis and perpendicular to the channel axis.
- the principles of conventional geostatistical practice, embedded in the majority of commercial tools for geological modeling presently available on the market, require selection of a single direction of maximum continuity, which is an average for the entire domain under study.
- M PS multi-point geostatistics
- M PS technology uses correlations between multiple locations at the same time to reproduce volume-variance relationship and model realizations, which arc conditioned to local sample data.
- M PS technology combine codes l ike SNF.SI M and S-GeMS. The latter, for example, is dedicated to the local optimization of parameters involved in variogram-based models to take into account local structural characteristics of the data.
- M PS technology however, sti ll has its disadvantages such as, for example: a ) dependence on the training image or training data set; and b) very long computational times for generating new geological model/real ization.
- Landmark Graphics has developed technology for three- dimensional volumetric modeling of geological properties using a Maximum Continuity Field ( MCF). This technology is more commonly referred to as Point Vector technology, which is described in International Patent Appl ication Publication No. WO2009/ I 5 I 4 I and is incorporated herein by reference.
- the Point Vector technology introduces several advantages that enable a user to: i) direct control over local continuity directions; i i) interactively operate with "geologically intuitive" datasets, such as layering intervals, projection maps and hand drawings through a MCF; and ii i ) retain the maximum fidel ity of a geological model by postponing the creation of a grid/mesh until the final stage of stat ic model bui lding immediately before integrating the static model into a dynamic model ( reservoir simulator).
- the reservoi r property modeling does not need a standard grid but only the correct distance between the points to estimate/simulate the property and the data around it.
- the current Point Vector technology basicaliy introduces a solution, commonly referred to as an "80% solution,” which is based on the approach of simply reorienting the axes of a variogram model to the local direction specified by the user.
- 80% solution e.g. meandering channels
- the 80% solution has no way of knowing how to look beyond the channel corner.
- the estimation of the correct distance in such geological structures requires the introduction of curvilinear distances because the minimum distance between two points in geological formations is not always a straight line (i.e. Euclidean distance) and may be curvilinear - depending on the local anisotropy field.
- the remaining challenges are: i) how to calculate the shortest distance between two points of interest in a grid-less model of a geological structure: and ii ) which direction/orientation to use to correctly describe the local anisotropy effects.
- the present invention meets the above needs and overcomes one or more deficiencies in the prior art by applying an integration method to calculate the shortest distance between two points of interest in a grid-less model of a geological structure and to determine which direction/orientation to use for correctly describing the local anisotropy effects.
- the present invention includes a method for modeling a three-dimensional ("3D") geological structure that comprises: i) selecting input data for the geological structure; ii l digitizing an image of the geological structure represented by the input data, the digitized image comprising multiple sample points; iii) processing the digitized image using intelligent point densification to only initialize a location for each sample point and optimize each sample point location: iv) calculating a structure and diffusion tensor field for the digitized image, each tensor for the tensor field being linked with a respective sample point at an optimized sample point location for the respective sample point; v) processing the digitized image using structure-oriented smoothing to form an enhanced image; vi) calculating a fault displacement field for the digitized image; and vi i ) interpolating the structure and diffusion tensor field, the enhanced image and the fault displacement field to produce a 3 D geological model.
- 3D three-dimensional
- the present invention includes a computer readable medium for storing computer executable instructions for modeling a three-dimensional ("3D") geological structure.
- the instructions are executable to implement: i) selecting input data for the geological structure; ii ) digitizing an image of the geological structure represented by the input data, the digitized image comprising multiple sample points; iii) processing the digitized image using intell igent point densification to only initialize a location for each sample point and optimize each sample point location; iv) calculating a structure and di ffusion tensor field for the digitized image, each tensor for the tensor field being linked with a respective sample point at an optimized sample point location for the respective sample point; v) processing the digitized image using structure-oriented smoothing to form an enhanced image; vi ) calculating a fault displacement field for the digitized image; and vii ) interpolating the structure and diffusion tensor field, the enhanced image and the fault displacement field to produce

- FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating one embodiment of a system for implementing the present invention.
- the following description includes one or more methods (hereinafter generally referred to as an "integration method") for integrating the Point Vector technology and curvilinear point-to-point (CPP) interpolation techniques, which are well known in the art, through data abstraction to merge a broad range of available datasets and structures.
- An image digitization platform is disclosed with a generic I/O data stream, which is uni fied for interpolation.
- the integration method provides a unique tool in the field of 3D geological modeling.
- FIG. I a flow diagram illustrates one embodiment of a method 100 for implementing the present invention.
- the method 100 represents an integration method for 3D geological modeling, which accounts for multiple sources and types of geological and structural information. Such information may include, for example, intuitive hand drawings of structural frameworks and high-resolution seismic data images.
- step 102 structural information such as, for example, high-resolution seismic data, may be selected as input data for the method 100 using the client interface and/or the video interface described in reference to FIG. 7.
- the seismic data may contain structural information used for CPP interpolation and structure-oriented smoothing.
- step 104 other types and formats of geological and structural information such as, for example i) layering intervals ( 1 4a), which represent a vertical space bounded by 2 geological siirlaces; ii) map views ( 104b) of channel limits; and iii) intuitive hand drawings ( 104c) of structural frameworks (e.g. vectors in a speci fic portion of a volume-ol-interest) may be selected as input data for the method 100 using the client interlace and/or the video interface described in reference to FIG. 7.
- the geological and structural information selected in step 104 may be based on a single direction of maximum continuity using a Maximum Continuity Field in the manner described in International Patent Application Publication No.
- the direction of maximum continuity is the direction along which the property of interest is the most likely to stay the same when moving away from the location of the vector along the direction of the vector as illustrated in FIG. 3. I n other words, it defines implicit relations between locations in the geological model for property model ing purposes.
- a maximum continuity vector 302 has a location 304. a magnitude, a direction and a correlation ( length) 30ii.
- the correlation (length ) of the vector 302 coincides with the long range of the variogram model.
- the axes of the variogram model could be intuitively reoriented to the speci fied local direction i n the manner proposed in I nternational Patent Application Publication No. WO20091 1 5 1441 A l .
- step 106 data abstraction is performed on the input data selected in steps 102 and/or 104 in the manner further described in reference to FIG. 2. Data abstraction is performed because the input data selected in steps 102 and/or 104 usually appear in very di fferent modes or resolution and, in order to deploy the input data during the interpolation step 108, a generalization or abstraction of the input data is required.
- step 108 CPP interpolation such as, for example, natural-neighbor interpolation or image-guided-blended-neighbor interpolation is performed on the resu lts from step 106.
- the interpolation applies a two-step blending of tensor field data: 1 ) any anisotropic Eikonal equation, which is well known in the art. is solved for the minimum travel time from a sampled point to a known data point ( i.e. wel l data/location ) by methods well known in the art such as, for example, the Dijkstra-based fast Marching Method (FMM); and 2) an iterative conjugate-gradient method, which is well known in the art, is used to solve for a blended neighbor interpolant, which is a derivation of a pressure equation.
- FMM Dijkstra-based fast Marching Method
- the curvilinear distance 604 may be solved using the solution to the anisotropic Eikonal equation for a minimum travel time (t culinary,) along the optimal trajectory.
- the Euclidean distance 602 solves for the linear distance between two points ( .v, P ) and is inaccurate for channelized features.
- FIG. 2 a flow diagram illustrates one embodiment of a method 200 for implementing step 106 in FI G. I .
- step 201 an image of a geological structure represented by the input data is digitized using any standard method well known in the art for representing an image by a discrete set of its points or samples such as, for example, rasteri .ing or image compression.
- the fundamental feature is to render a generic image format compatible with interpolation in step 108.
- step 202 the digitized image from step 201 is processed using intel ligent point densi fication (HOD).
- I PoD is an improvement of the atomic-meshing techniques described in U.S. Patent No. 7,050,612, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- I PoD is generally used to: ⁇ ) initialize the sample point location by fill ing the space spanned by the digitized image with a pseudo-regular lattice of points, where the nominal distance between the point and its nearest neighbors varies consistently with the density of structural features in the digitized image; and 2) optimize the sample point location by moving the points within the space spanned by the digitized image to minimize a total potential energy, defined to be a weighted sum of a point potential energy for each sample point and a potential energy for the digitized image.
- the details of the sample point initialization and potential energy minimization algorithms arc given in U.S. Patent No. 7.050,61 2.
- the advantages of I Po D over standard atomic mesh ing is that it is used strictly for the initialization and optimization of sample point location. I n this manner, the step of generating the actual triangulated mesh is omitted.
- the standard atomic meshing method connects the optimized sample points location by triangulation, which may be elaunay triangulation or any other standard technique for triangulaiion, that is wel l known in the art, to form a mesh of sample points.
- triangulation may be elaunay triangulation or any other standard technique for triangulaiion, that is wel l known in the art, to form a mesh of sample points.
- generating a triangulated mesh is a computationally demanding procedure and may require special rendering techniques to correct for artifacts as described in the article written by A. Rueger and D.
- step 203 a structure and diffusion tensor field is calculated for the digitized image from step 201 using methods well known in the art.
- the individually calculated tensors for the tensor Held are linked with the corresponding sample point initialized and
- I f the technique applied is the "nearest neighbor” search, then the tensor is linked to the nearest neighbor sample point. If the technique appl ied is the "natural neighbor” search, then the tensor is linked to the natural neighbor sample point.
- Both the nearest-neighbor search and natural-neighbor search techniques are wel l known in the art.
- the metric tensor field is the link between distance and time and represents the coherence, orientation and dimensionality of features in the image, which gu ide the interpolation in step 108. The tensor field alters interpolation so that known sample values within spatially coherent image features are given more weight than values on opposite sides of such features or where the image is less coherent.
- any underlying tensor field needs some underlying guiding representation in a computer such as, for example, a drawing, photograph, or other image.
- the tensor field might be sampled with resolution of the seismic data image.
- the tensor field may be sampled more coarsely/cleverly using, for example, I PoD. This means that the tensor field will be sampled with ihe lower resolution only at the image locations determined by the optimized locations of the sample points from step 202.
- the digitized image from step 201 is processed using structu re- oriented smoothing along structures that are apparent in the image (i.e., calculated in the form of a structure and di ffusion tensor field in step 203), which enhances structural features and preserves important discontinuities such as, for example, faults or channels.
- a broad spectrum of wel l-known fi ltering algorithms may be used such as. for example: i) coherency-enhancing anisotropic filters; ii) structure-oriented interpretation filters (i.e. van Gogh filters); iii) recursive (anisotropic ) Gaussian filters; and iv) novel implementations of bilateral filters.
- a fault displacement field (FDF) for the digitized image from step 201 is calculated in the manner described below.
- the FDF is merged with the results from step 203 and step 204, which is returned to step 108 in FIG. 1 for interpolation.
- Traditional seismic interpretation methods focus on the detection of the fault line in the seismic data image through, for example, coherence methods. Calculating an FDF, however, corresponds to tracing the MCF through the fault line ( in 2 D) or through the fault surface (in 3 D).
- step 205 may be applied to fault line/surface detection in the seismic data image as well as to any other format of digitized data pertaining to structural information (e.g.. layering intervals, projection maps and hand drawings).
- the FDF is therefore, calculated by searching for the apparent displacement vectors in the image and searching for the locations of peaks of local cross-correlations between adjacent, that is vertical, image traces.
- the FDF constrains fault vectors, wh ich vary smoothly within a fault that is in the direction of the fault.
- a correlation smoothing window is appl ied, which is aligned with a lag vector. I n other words, smoothing is applied for any lag vector in the direction of that vector by shearing where the correlation is done trace-by-tracc and is as fast as if it was done for the vertical faults. Shearing is a well known concept used in computer graphics algorithms.
- FIG. 4 ⁇ the application of the Point Vector technology is illustrated for tracing the data-searched region 404a and the associated MCF 408a over a fault line 400a from region 404a to region 406a by displaying region 404a of the search and following the fault throw vector 402a to region 406a. Because this operation has to be performed on multiple-fault l ines in a VOI for the entire MCF, it is extremely time- consuming and hard to efficiently implement in practice. As illustrated in FIG. 413. which is a 2D seismic data image representing amplitude, the calculated structure and di ffusion tensor field, represented by the ellipsoids, docs not continue through the fault line.
- the areas represented by 402b. 404b and 406b reveal the areas where the directional information is lost. I n other words, as the el lipsoids become less elongated, the information on directionality of the tensor field is lost on the fau lt line and discontinues tracing the MCF.
- tracing the MCF over fault lines is generical ly appl icable to any underlying structural representation in a digital image.
- Step 205 represents an improvement over the Point Vector technology, which does not require user pre-defined input for fault vectors and associated fault throws, which are required by the use of the Point Vector technology.
- FIG. 5B an enlarged image of ihe area circled in FIG. 5A illustrates the directional information for the fault displacement field.
- the directionality information i.e., vector arrows
- the vector arrows represent the calculated displacement vectors. I t is evident from the absolute length of the vector arrows that the displacement is merely associated with the high-gradient-change features (e.g. fault throws), but not with the tilt variation of horizontal layering where the length of the vector arrows is reduced. Th is is the preferred behavior because the displacement vector field is envisioned as the structural property.
- the present invention is distinguished from existing technologies on the market by the integration of: i) Maximum Continuity Fields (MCI 7 ); i i) Intelligent Point Dcnsificalion (IPoD); iii) fault displacement fields (FDF); and iv) CPP interpolation.
- MCI 7 Maximum Continuity Fields
- IPoD Intelligent Point Dcnsificalion
- FDF fault displacement fields
- CPP interpolation method of the present invention therefore: i) describes the local anisotropy effects by introducing the Maximum Continuity Field and Fault Displacement Field based on underlying structural in formation and ii) introduces the CPP interpolation techniques to perform the interpolation between two points of interest along the direction of maximum continuity and across the fault surfaces.
