Abstract:

Improved methods and systems for efficiently and accurately modelling geological formations are disclosed. A geological model of a region of interest comprises a parent region having a plurality of child regions. A geological model of the parent region is designed. One of the plurality of child regions is extracted from the parent region while maintaining a first parent-child relationship between the child region and the parent region. The geological model of the child region may then be refined or manipulated. The geological model of the child region is then reintegrated with the geological model of the parent region.
