Course provides students with advanced techniques of 3D geological modeling, which plays an increasingly
important
role in basin analysis, reservoir geology, mining geology and engineering geology. Emphasis is given to
processing
and visualization of real 3D geological data – maps, well and seismic data, cross-section constructions,
compaction,
decompaction calculations in 1D, 2D and 3D, sedimentary and structural restoration and sedimentary processes
numerical simulations. Students will acquire practical skills in data processing, visualizing and 3D modeling.

1. Introduction to 3D modelling in geology, introduction to SW package MOVE - loading and visualization of surface, well and seismic data

2. Compaction, decompaction, 2D backstripping, pre-deformational restoration

3. 3D seismic conversion, decompaction, delta restoration

4. Low-density turbidity currents - Monte Carlo numerical simulation of sediment deposition

5. Digital Field Mapping - applications for smartphone and tablet. Collect data and build 3D model

6. 2D and 3D forward modeling

Various case studies from academic and industrial projects will be presented. Emphasis is on practical work in computer lab with MOVE software system (petex.com) or similar 3D geological modeling package.
