3D Visualization for Detailed Sedimentary-Facies Modeling of Lishui Depression, East China Sea Basin

Article Preview

Abstract:

Geological body is the product of the geological evolution in the time dimension and is also the record and the process of structural changes and sequence changes presenting in 3D configuration, so 3D visualization for sedimentary-facies modeling can results in a large quantity of spatial data which can be used for detailed sedimentary-facies modeling. Lishui Depression is taken for an example and the lower of Mingyuefeng Formation is the target formation for this study. Based on the analysis of sequence cycles and sedimentary environment and interpretation of 3D geological objects, the detailed 3D sedimentary-facies model for the lower Mingyuefeng Formation is built with Sequential Indicator Simulation. Then the 3D visualization of local sedimentary-facies is detailedly presented through fence models and profile models. The results prove that the methodology is competent for 3D modeling and self-adaptive visualization of large geological objects and it is a good way to solve the problem of integration and share of geological spatial data.
