Non-linear stochastic inversion of 2D gravity data using evolution strategy (ES)
In the current work, a 2D non-linear inverse problem of gravity data is solved using the evolution strategies (ES) to find the thickness of a sedimentary layer in a deep-water situation where a thick sedimentary layer usually exists. Such problems are widely encountered in the early stages of petroleum explorations where potential field data are used to find an initial estimate of the basin geo...
متن کاملA Topologically-based Framework for Three-dimensional Basin Modeling
Three-dimensional basin-wide simulation of generation, migration and accumulation of hydrocarbons has vast potential as an uncertainty and risk assessment tool in petroleum exploration. In order to fulfill this potential, several challenges have to be addressed including the modeling of the evolution of complex geological structures such as salt diapirs and fault motion. In this paper, we descr...

متن کاملNovel Algorithms for Modeling Sedimentation and Compaction using 3D Unstructured Meshes
In this paper, we discuss some novel techniques for modeling sedimentation and compaction using fully unstructured meshes. The numerical modeling of the sedimentation process is a critical part of basin simulation and synthetic stratigraphy modeling. Normally, structured curvilinear meshes are used to represent sedimentary sequences to be deposited during the simulation. Using this approach, 2D...
متن کاملModeling of Fault Co-seismic Displacement Fields in Elastic Environments Based on Spherical Dislocation Theory
This research is based on the modeling of co-seismic deformations due to the fault movement in the elastic environments, and we can obtain the deformations generated in the faults. Here, modeling of the co-seismic displacement field is based on the analytical method with two spherical dislocation model and half-space dislocation model. The difference in displacement field from two spherical and...
