METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING, TESTING, AND MODIFYING GEOLOGICAL SUBSURFACE MODELS

摘要

The present invention relates to method(s)/apparatus for creating, testing, and modifying computerized models of the earth's subsurface by, for example, providing computer-implemented tools which allow user(s) to selectively access and display pertinent geophysical, geographical, and archive data and/or to create, manage, and test hypotheses regarding subsurface structures. Such tools permit geologist(s) to evaluate the geological plausibility of multiple, alternative models, leverage knowledge of existing archives to new scenarios, create new archives, and simultaneously view relevant portions of a massive database of geographic and geophysical data.
