Multi-Surface Faulting – with SCAI’s Reservoir modeling software

Reservoir modeling software

Reservoir modeling software by Scientific Computer Applications is named Mapping Contouring System.  MCS handles multiple intersecting non-vertical faults among multiple surfaces. In MCS, faulted systems are treated for what they are: sets of three-dimensional blocks containing geological markers (formation tops), which once were continuous surfaces. The boundaries of these blocks are contourable surfaces and are the fault faces. In MCS, both faults and their vertical separations are contour mapped.

MCS uses the fault vertical separations explicitly to do a palinspastic reconstruction of the entire system. Multi-surface stacking is performed on the restored (unbroken) system. Then MCS 'rebreaks' the system to it's original position and generates fault traces as the intersection between structural surfaces and faults, for an accurate contour map for reservoir modeling.
