The visualisation of integrated 3D petroleum datasets in ArcGIS
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the use of ArcGIS and the 3D Analyst extension for the integration of multiple petroleum datasets as part of research undertaken by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, on behalf of Shell International Exploration and Production. The integration of datasets from both surface and subsurface application areas is essential to present a complete picture for decision-making, project overviews and data quality assurance processes. This paper will illustrate how such integration is possible using the ESRI Geodatabase for true 3D feature storage (using multipatch features), and examine the 3D spatial analysis and visualisation tools available within 3D Analyst.

Stochastic seismic inversion is a family of inversion algorithms in which the inverse solution was carried out using geostatistical simulation. In this work, a new 3D stochastic seismic inversion was developed in the MATLAB programming software. The proposed inversion algorithm is an iterative procedure that uses the principle of cross-over genetic algorithms as the global optimization techniqu...
