Geological Implicit Modelling
Cokriging Implicit Modelling
Structural data such as contact points, bedding orientation and fold axes can be included.
Add new data to refine the model in real-time
Honour depth observations by intergrating drillhole data
GeoModeller uses a geostatistical vector field interpolator to build the 3D interfaces and fault network using structural data, sections, drillholes and geophysics as inputs. The CoKriging interpolator allows the user to define formation-specific anisotropy settings to better represent geological structures even with sparse and scarce data. Model topology is set via the stratigraphic pile which enables the transfer of external geological knowledge into the modelling with minimal setup. Advanced fault network management enables realistic structurally complex modelling.
