Modeling faults taking into account uncertainties

Abstract

Modeling the fault geometry is often a difficult task because most of the data is deduced indirectly through the effect of faults in seismic data. As classical techniques used for horizons may not be applicable, a new object has been defined in GOCAD(in a project supported by Elf Aquitaine) in arder to take into account the uncertainties and propose different acceptable positions and shapes for the faults. The input data needed and the way to obtain them are presented first. Then the improvements on the fault object are detailed. Finally the projected work on the uncertainties and simulations computation (ideas and first results) is presented.
