Abstract
The GeoChron framework is a new 3D-parameterization of the geological space which can be computed over any type of discrete mesh, structured or not. It is based on the principle that an horizon used to build a surfacic model usually represents a iso-value surface of a so-called geological time property. In this article, we present two methods to compute a GeoChron (or G) parameterization of a tetraedrized volume. One method (the IPG-Lines) is a local approach, the other one is a global approach based on DSI constraints. Combining the two methods allows for a more consistent resulting G-parameterization. Finally, we show some examples of applications of the GeoChron framework to real geological data to geostatistical property modeling, seismic cube processing and stress analysis.
