stratigraphic realization

stratigraphic realization

The stratigraphic realization module is one of three similar modules (the other two are analytical realization and lithologic realization), which allows you to very quickly generate statistical realizations of your stratigraphic horizons based upon C Tech’s Proprietary Extended Gaussian Geostatistical Simulation (GGS), which we refer to as Fast Geostatistical Realizations^®^ or FGR^®^. Our extensions to GGS allow you to:

  • Create realizations rapidly
  • Exercise greater control over the frequency and magnitude of noise typical in GGS
  • Control deviation magnitudes from the nominal kriged prediction based on a Min Max Confidence Equivalent
    • Deviations are the absolute value of the changes to surface elevations for each stratigraphic horizon
  • Apply Simple or Advanced Anisotropy control over 2D wavelengths
  • For stratigraphic realizations only: Natural Neighbor interpolation is supported in addition to kriging for the input model.

Ports

DirectionNameTypeDescription
InputStratigraphic Grid DataRealizationInformation required for direct exporting of stratigraphic grid data.
OutputOutput FieldFieldThe main output field representing geologic materials.
OutputDeviations FieldFieldA field containing deviation values by which the data has been shifted.
OutputOutput ObjectRenderableA renderable object displaying the variography created by the module. Output even when Allow Run is off.

Properties

PropertyTypeDescription
Allow RunBooleanControls whether the module will run when applications are loaded or data changes. When on, the module runs when applications are loaded or the Execute button is pushed. When off, the module will not run unless Execute is pressed.
ExecuteButtonForces the module to run. If pressed and the application saved, it will cause the module to run when the application is loaded.

Fast Geostatistical Realization

PropertyTypeDescription
Randomness Generator TypeChoice: Type1, Type2, Type3, Type4Determines the nature of the Realization deviation patterns.
AnisotropyAnisotropyControls the anisotropy of the realization noise via heading and horizontal ratio.
SeedIntegerUsed in the random number generator to make realizations reproducible.
WavelengthDoubleAffects the Randomness Generator. This value is in your coordinate system units. Small values produce an output with higher frequency changes.
Min Max Confidence EquivalentDoubleRealization deviations from the nominal kriged results will be constrained to lie within the equivalent Min/Max (plume) bounds. Must lie between 51.00% and 99.995%. Theoretically 50% is the same as the nominal kriged result.

Variography Display

PropertyTypeDescription
Variography Z ScaleDoubleSets the vertical scaling of the variography ellipse and lines.
Display Variogram EllipseBooleanAllows the user to display the variography ellipse.
Ellipse OpacityDoubleSets the opacity of the ellipse directly.
ResolutionIntegerThe resolution to use for the ellipse. Larger numbers create more detailed representations.
Ellipse ScaleDoubleScales the ellipse equally along each axis.
X OffsetDoubleTranslates the ellipse along the x axis.
Y OffsetDoubleTranslates the ellipse along the y axis.
Z OffsetDoubleTranslates the ellipse along the z axis.
Ellipse ColorColorThe ellipse is a solid color which can be selected using this control.
Display Variogram LinesBooleanAllows the user to display lines aligned with the variography ellipse.
Line ScaleDoubleA scalar that sets the length of the variogram lines relative to the scale of the ellipse.
Primary Ratio ColorColorThe primary ratio axis color.
Secondary Ratio ColorColorThe secondary ratio axis color.
