Fault Modeling

First step of structural modeling


Corner point gridding: Structural modeling

This is the classical process for making a


structural model in Petrel. It is subdivided
into three processes: Fault Modeling,
Pillar Gridding and Make Horizons

Fault Modeling Pillar Gridding Make Horizons Make Zones Layering


Structural Modeling – Fault modeling process

The Structural Modeling processes


include the use of the Fault modeling and
the Pillar gridding processes together to
create a skeleton framework.

1. Define a Fault Model. Before you start


Fault modeling. You need to define and
name a model that will store the fault
model and all 3D grids related to that
fault model.

2. Activate the new empty


model and activate the
Fault modeling process.

3. Right-click the input data


(fault sticks) in the Input
pane and select to convert
to faults in fault model.

4. Specify to build a key pillar


on every 5th fault stick and
set max search distance to
nearest neighbor pillar.

5. The new faults are stored in the Faults model folder named after their input.

6. The faults consists of adjustable key pillars with a number of shape points
defined by the geometry selected before automatically converting data to
faults in fault model (in this case three point listric geometry.)

Activate the Fault Modeling


process. Select the fault geometry
from the function bar.
Structural Modeling- Automated Trimming of Faults
The Key pillars generated through the Corner point
gridding must run through the complete model area. Cut/
extend pillars against a surface or a given constant:

simple grid, vertical. projected path of pillars were they do not
extend to the top.

1. Go to Processes pane> Fault modeling. Under Operations


tab, select the Top and Base limits, given by 2D grids.

2. Choose All or Only selected pillars, cut and extend to the limits.
Click OK.
Structural Modeling- Automatic Connection of Faults
Automatic fault connection:
Faults close to each other, not cutting through, and faults
overlapping each other must be connected to build a proper
lattice for the Pillar gridding process. Normally used with
clean orthogonal fault data. Also used to find problems with
fault intersections. After those have been located and edited,
auto connection can be run again.

Extend distance – will search for Remove distance – will remove


pillars within the given distance and pillars that are less than the given
connect them. distance from the connection.
