Abstract

Summary

Structural model has a zeroth order impact for flow through porous media. Although seismic image is used extensively to understand structure and is increasing in quality, it may not able to resolve the structure (faults and horizons) in areas of interest due to low image quality. However, there can be areas in seismic data where structure can be extracted. In this paper, we propose ways to use the structure we observe in seismic image to model the structural uncertainty in area(s) of interest for which structure cannot be resolved. We make use of GeoChron to take the structural features from the physical domain they are defined into depositional domain to generate and evaluate fault realizations. This transformation makes generating multiple structural models with different fault groups, breakage patterns and hierarchies an easier task since. Ideas in this paper are elaborated on field data from offshore Japan, namely Kumano Basin, using the seismic data taken at the plate boundary at which there is complicated and partly unresolved structure.
