A system and method may model physical geological structures. Seismic and geologic data may be accepted. A three-dimensional (3D) transformation may be generated between a 3D present day model having points representing present locations of the physical geological structures and a 3D past depositional model having points representing locations where the physical geological structures were originally deposited. An indication may be accepted to locally change the 3D transformation for a subset of sampling points in a first model of the models. The 3D transformation may be locally changed to fit the updated subset of sampling points. A locally altered or updated version of the first model and, e.g., second model, may be displayed where local changes to the first model are defined by the locally changed 3D transformation. The transformation may also be used to extract geobodies in the past depositional model.

Systems and methods for coordinated editing of seismic data in dual model

A method, apparatus and system for modeling a fault surface in a subsurface region. A direction may be determined in which a first portion of the subsurface region being on one side of the fault surface has moved relative to a second portion of the subsurface region being on the other side of the fault surface. A model of the fault surface may be generated having substantially no protrusions in the determined direction. A visualization of the model of the generated fault surface may be displayed.

Systems and methods for modeling faults in the subsurface

A system and method for modeling a subsurface structure. Data representing a configuration of faults, horizons, and/or unconformities may be transformed to a depositional model comprising cells representing an estimated configuration of subsurface structure at a depositional time period when the subsurface structure was formed. Groups of cells in the depositional model may be divided into sub-meshes using iso-surfaces, where one set of iso-surfaces may represent the horizons at the depositional time period. The sub-meshes may be divided into one or more parts using the transformed geological data representing an estimated depositional configuration of the faults. For each group of cells in each sub-mesh part, the group of cells in the sub-mesh part may be represented by a single polyhedron. The polyhedrons may be transformed to generate a current model to represent the current configuration of the faults and horizons using transformed polyhedrons.
