Problems solved by technology

[0003] With the deepening of oil and gas exploration, the requirements for geological modeling of complex structures are increasing. Popular geological modeling software such as Earthvision and Gocad are basically equipped to deal with complex continuous and discontinuous multi-valued geological bodies (such as faults, folds, salt mound, lens, etc.), but the methods used have certain limitations
[0004] At the SEG annual meeting in recent years, the Earthvision construction surface of Dynamic Graphics, Inc (abbreviated as DGI) uses the three-dimensional minimum tension interpolation method based on the regular distance field to construct multi-valued objects. The problem of multi-valued body fracture, in addition, it is not possible to add other linear constraint information to constrain the model, only to use scattered control point information, and often need to add a certain amount of control points interactively, and adjust and optimize the model in a cyclic and iterative manner. The implementation process is cumbersome
In addition, due to the use of 3D gridding technology, if the grid sampling rate is high or the number of control points is known to be large, the amount of gridding calculation is very large. Of course, the method of coarse and fine grid splitting and data point thinning can be adopted, but for Subsequent interactive modification is not good
[0005] In the Gocad 3D reservoir description of TSurf in the United States, a discrete smooth interpolation is used to construct a complex model. This interpolation is a broad-spectrum interpolation. Its implementation idea is different from that of Erathvision software, and various constraints can be added for model constraints. And there is no need to embed the model into a regular three-dimensional uniform grid, only an initial solution is needed, which directly establishes the relationship between the constraint information and the model, and uses an iterative method to build the model. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to construct the initial surface , the topology information of the grid is relatively high, and the convergence is largely affected by the initial model. If the initial model is unreasonable, the algorithm will not be able to correctly approximate the known information, but only achieve local minimum convergence, and also Affecting the update of constraints requires that the topological changes of the grid and the changes of constraints must be completely accurate and fast
[0006] NORSAR in Sweden has also adopted the technology of fragmentation reconstruction and merging. In principle, this method can establish various complex models, especially if there are complex fractures. The division of data and space needs to be realized interactively
[0007] Some other automatic reconstruction methods, such as the method of directly triangulating in three-dimensional space, can only be realized when the data distribution is uniform. Once the data distribution is uneven or changes drastically, these methods often fail

Embodiment 1

[0041] Example 1 The results of constructing multi-valued salt dome surface

[0042] figure 1 As shown, the number of known seismic interpretation scattered data points in this example is 4890, and its shape is relatively complex. It is difficult to establish an accurate model by using conventional methods, and the two-dimensional drawing method cannot describe its shape, but the method of the invention can effectively solve this problem.

[0043] Its specific implementation steps are:

[0044] 1. First, an initial triangulation surface is established using a three-dimensional equipotential field based on the data set.

[0045]2. Optimizing and establishing the topological relationship of the triangular mesh. This step is mainly to reconstruct the adjacency topological relationship between the triangular surface elements, the mesh nodes, and the edges of the triangular elements.

[0046] 3. On the basis of the establishment of the initial grid above, each scattered data poi...

Embodiment 2

[0051] Example 2 Results of constructing multi-valued stratum surface

[0052] image 3 It is a multi-value stratum layer with more than 17,000 scattered data points. The initial surface does not use an implicit surface, but uses the simplest two-dimensional plane triangular grid, and then adopts the method of energy deformation to approximate it. Figure 4 The final surface shown shows a very good approximation with a triangle mesh of 12,000 bins.

Embodiment 3

[0053] Embodiment 3 builds the curved surface of the lens body

[0054] Figure 5 As shown in , the results are established for a closed lens body, the number of known scattered data points is 1500, and the specific steps for constructing the surface are:

[0055] 1. First, use the normal vectors at the locally estimated scattered points to add several control points inside and outside the model, and then use the implicit surface construction surface method to establish the initial model mesh.

[0056] 2. Establish the topological relationship of the initial grid, and establish the corresponding constraint relationship between the grid unit and the scattered control points.

[0057] 3. Utilize the energy-based discrete smooth interpolation method to further smooth and approximate the model, and the specific details are similar to those in Embodiment 1.

[0058] Through the above steps, it can be obtained as Figure 6 The results shown.

[0059] Of course, for this model, i...
