SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO BUILD SEDIMENTARY ATTRIBUTES

摘要

A method and system for computing and visualizing sedimentary attributes may include receiving, by a processor, paleo-geographic coordinates representing predicted approximate positions of particles of sediment deposited at a time period when a layer was originally formed. The processor may numerically compute or determine a sedimentation rate that varies laterally along the layer. The processor may determine a sedimentary attribute based on the lateral variation of the sedimentation rate along the layer with respect to the paleo-geographic coordinates. A monitor or display may display the sedimentary attribute of the layer in the present-day geological space.

1. A method to visualize sedimentary attributes, the method comprising:
receiving paleo-geographic coordinates representing predicted approximate positions of particles of sediment deposited at a time period when a layer was originally formed; determining a sedimentation rate that varies laterally along the layer; determining a sedimentary attribute based on the lateral variation of the sedimentation rate along the layer with respect to the paleo-geographic coordinates; and displaying the sedimentary attribute of the layer in a present-day geological space.
