Integrated Stratigraphic Modelling

The Integrated Stratigraphic Modelling module delivers a revolutionary new set of tools for coal modelling through an intuitive integrated interface containing powerful new reverse and thrust fault modelling capabilities.

Features:

• Single tree-style interface accesses virtually all of Vulcan’s grid modelling tools
• Save Complex Modelling runs as a single specification
• Use multiple horizon lists, including an enhanced split definition panel which allows for ‘Z’ splitting
• Dynamic model extent definition - preview grid size prior to modelling
• Modelling directly from a drillhole database or from existing Mapfiles
• In-pit survey or mapping data incorporated directly into the interpolation or modelling process
• Choose your modelling method - thickness stacked or direct structural surface creation

New Feature: Block Faulting

New functionality allows users to define fault planes as simple inclined planes or as complex curvilinear surfaces using all of Vulcan’s triangulation modelling tools.

These fault surfaces then form the interfaces between 3D fault domains. For each of these fault domains, you can create a complete integrated stratigraphic model which is modelled independently of data in the adjacent fault domains. These models, created as triangulations, are truncated precisely at the fault plane interfaces and then strung together to form a single faulted surface for each horizon of interest. Because triangulations are used, there are no issues with modelling reverse, thrust, normal or overturned sequences. The full range of surface modelling methods as applied to grids can be used.

The drag or drape of stratigraphic layers at fault edges can be controlled by automatically incorporating survey pickup, laser scanned or manually digitised data into the modelling process. The resultant faulted triangulated surface models can then be automatically combined into a faulted Stratigraphic Block Model.
