Cut Odyssey

Abstract

Building a consistent structural model, modeling faults and horizons, raises often the same kind of questions: Are those surfaces in contact/do they intersect? Does this fault framework create independent fault blocks? Is the fault framework topology observed on a horizon consistent...? The answer to these questions relies often on a same technology: the cut algorithm. The aim of this paper is to present the cut algorithm and its derivatives through different applications such as computing fault displacement, computing Allan map, building 3D earth model or even following a horizon-fault contact incremental approach (e.g.: taking into account first a major fault inside a horizon and then adding secondary faults).
