Provide Overview of Stratigraphic Subdivisions in Petrel

Gain Understanding of the Make Horizons process
– Define number of horizons (depending on input data)
– Define horizon type (geological)

Structural Modeling – Make Horizons process

Add the main horizons that will

create the framework of the
model. Normally these are
seismic interpretations or
gridded surfaces.

Horizons Tab

Define Horizon Type

Erosional – Horizons below will be truncated

Discont – Horizons below and above will be truncated

Base – Horizons above will be truncated

Conformable – Will be truncated byy all the other horizons

Faults Tab – Setup

Set a distance to the faults, specified in project Units;

Input data closer than the given distance is not used
in the Interpolation Algorithm.

Petrel then back-extrapolates

back extrapolates to the fault plane to fill
in the gap caused by removing the data.

Fault distance can be different in front or

behind the fault (YELLOW or BLUE).

Press the icon to view the

Blue/Yellow faults in a 3D window.
Faults Tab – Result

If distance is set to 0, the horizons may show

an artificial drag effect on the fault plane

By specifying an appropriate fault distance,

the drag effect may be removed
Make Horizon Output – QC

Once the dialog settings are set, click

Apply and view the results in a 3D
Window

Remember that refining the Distance

and Displacement parameters in the
Fault tab settings is an iterative process
which may need to be done again after
QC in 3D Window

Use available Displays and Filters:

1) Edges – to see Zone division
Visualizing faults and boundary as
edges
d off the
h model,
d l posts zones
and layering
1) Zone Filter – to strip zone by
zone
 Extra – Create and Edit Horizon Lines
Re-sample Horizons to Fault
Model. Use Fixed Horizon lines
