A method for creating a seamless scalable geological model may comprise identifying one or more geological scales, establishing a geological tied system, identifying one or more graphical resolution levels for each of the one or more geological scales, constructing the seamless scalable geological model, and producing a post-process model. A system for creating a seamless scalable geological model may comprise an information handling system, which may comprise a random access memory, a graphics module, a main memory, a secondary memory, and one or more processors configured to run a seamless scalable geological model software.

Systems and methods for mapping vertices from one coordinate system in an earth model to another coordinate system in a two-dimensional (2D) array without disrupting the topology of the vertices.

A method includes generating a faulted point cloud representing a faulted geological formation including a first fault block having a first surface, a second fault block having a second surface, and a fault formed therebetween and having a fault surface, generating a first fault trace from an intersection of the first surface and the fault surface and a second fault trace from an intersection of the second surface and the fault surface, generating a first fault polygon using the first and second fault traces, generating a center polyline, generating third and fourth fault traces separated from the first and second fault traces, respectively, generating a second fault polygon using the third and fourth fault traces, expanding a first area including the first and third fault traces, expanding a second area including the second and fourth fault traces, and generating an unfaulted point cloud representing an unfaulted geological formation.

Systems and methods for reordering sequential actions in a process or workflow by determining which actions are required to enable another action in the process or workflow.

Systems and methods for dynamically visualizing fluid velocity in subsurface reservoirs by displaying a particle at different locations on a streamline that represents a fluid path and a fluid velocity in the subsurface reservoir. The systems and methods may be used to display the actual fluid velocity or a proportionate fluid velocity for a respective streamline at predetermined incremental time steps.

A model is created by distributing a plurality of points in the volume in the absence of a grid. Each point has a location. A first vector, having a length, a magnitude representing the value of the geological property in the neighborhood of the first point, and a direction representing the direction of maximum continuity, derived from a geological property in the neighborhood of the location of the first point, is assigned to a first point of the plurality of points. The direction of maximum continuity is the direction along which the magnitude of the geological property stays substantially the same for the greatest distance when moving away from the first point. The length of the first vector represents the distance from the first point in the direction of the first vector that the magnitude and direction of maximum continuity of the geological property stay substantially the same.
