2 Summary Principles of geological restoration forward and backward reconstruction Kine3D plugins within Gocad Examples of restorations Limits when using Code-Aster 2

3 Backward restoration Present day at -65 Ma 3

6 Summary Principles of geological restoration Kine3D plugins within Gocad Examples of restorations Limits when using Code-Aster 6

7 Gocad Suite Base Module Seismic Interpretation Velocity Modeling Geologic Interpretation Reservoir Modeling Reservoir Production Drilling Planner 7

8 KINE3D Volumic restoration Kine3D 3: link Code Aster and Gocad Tetrahedra, Hexahedras Final geometry Gocad is used as a mesh generator, visualisation tool and post processing tool 8

9 Principle of 3D restoration The deformation energy of a rock volume is minimized, assuming displacement constraints on some parts Rocks follow linear elasticity Displacement constraints are used to input geological constraints Finite element meshes are used to discretize the equations Code Aster is used to perform computations 9

25 Différence de comportement Green élastique Simo_Miehe/VMises_isot_line en élastique Contraintes : jonctions sur la partie jaune contact sur la faille rouge 25

26 Exemple "réel" visé à terme Il reste du chemin à parcourir! 26

27 Restoration with different rheology red grid: homogeneous stiff rheology of sandstone type green grid: soft rheology of shale type in the graben 27

28 Merci 28

29 Output data: dilatancy Local variation of area/volume induced by the restoration Dilatation is zero if one may unfold and close the fault lip without changing the area. Negative dilatation means global extension, positive gobal compression Dilatation is computed on area for surfaces and on volumes for 3D. θ = 29

30 Dilatancy depends upon boundary conditions 30

31 Dilatancy depends upon boundary conditions 31

32 Dilatancy depends upon boundary conditions 32

33 Dilatancy depends upon boundary conditions 33

34 Conclusions Fault sealing: contact to quality control the fault geometry, glide to get access to past past geometry or to define local deformation related to fault geometry Restoration geometry sensible to fault contact conditions not very sensible to rigid rotation preventing conditions not very sensitive to rheology Restoration derived parameters sensitive to rigid rotation preventing conditions sensitive to rheology contrast 34
