Kingdom Fault Systems

Kingdom Fault SystemsBetter Technology—Better Faults

Kingdom 8.7 provides a number of enhancements to the fault system:

• Integrated Fault Interpretation and Editing• Fault to Fault Clipping• More Options for Creating Automatic Fault Polygons

Integrated Fault Interpretation and EditingIntegrated interpretation and editing mode reduces the confusion of having multiple surface representations (fault segments and fault surfaces) on a single fault.

Features BenefitsEdit any point that intersects with the displayed line

Edit the actual fault surface

Clip penetrating fault surfaces - a requirement for fault modeling

Additional options for creating automatic fault polygons

Ease of use for fault editing and interpretation

Improved accuracy for fault interpretation

Cleaner, more accurate automatic fault polygons

Integrated editing allows the user to edit any point that intersects with the currently displayed line, not just the points originally digitized on the currently displayed VSD.

Users can actually edit the surface of the fault. All surface triangle lines which intersect the VSD can be simply edited like any point.

6 Kingdom 8.7

Kingdom Fault Systems

Fault to Fault ClippingFault clipping removes fault surfaces that punch through other fault surfaces making more accurate and better looking geological interpretations and is required for fault modeling.

More Options for Creating Automatic Fault PolygonsEnhancements to automatic fault polygon creation produces more accurate fault polygons.

Before clipping, the blue fault penetrates the green fault.

After clipping, the faults are sealed. The clipped, blue fault no longer penetrates the green fault.

When clipping a fault, create a new fault, or simply replace the existing fault.

Smart cleaning will remove only the bad points that have bled through the fault surface and landed on the wrong side of the fault.

The option to limit surface construction to points that are within the fault block only, enhances the surface projection to the fault surface and makes a better fault polygon.

This new functionality will improve productivity, facilitate the sharing of specialized knowledge, and support in-house/proprietary equations for analysis. The scripts can be executed on any number of wells in a batch mode. Users can input logs, zones, and constants; and write equations, loops, if-else logic to output as logs or zone attributes—all in runtime.

Redesigned Zones and Zone AttributesNew borehole zones, authored zones, and zone types

Features BenefitsDefine a new zone as a “borehole zone”, where the upper and lower surfaces are automatically defined by the top and bottom of the borehole. (A default borehole zone is automatically created for each borehole.)

Define a new zone as Authored or Public.

Copy an existing zone as Authored or Public.

Assign a zone type to a zone attribute. Zone attributes can be can be numeric, a date, or text and units.

Zone attributes support stored hyperlinks.

Borehole zones provide the flexibility to store any attributes that might not be specific to a zone, or any calculations that might span across multiple zones.

Users can perform a collaborated analysis with Public zones and/or perform a multitude of analyses individually with authored zones, and share results as needed.

Users can store and query important dates and/or tag key events with date and text attributes. Detailed documents can be linked through the hyperlinks.

Select the script from the designated directory and read the description. View/edit the script details if desired before reading the scrip. Then specify your input and output parameters and Run.

Kingdom 8.7 11

Integrated Real-Time Geosteering

Geosteering WorkflowWith Geosteering, you can select a planned borehole and show it in a vertical display, mirroring the drilling wells deviation survey. It is also possible to select a drilling well and display it in a vertical view. Log curves can be shown along the drilling wellbore. As the drilling progresses, the incoming updates can be automatically loaded to the drilling well. These incoming update segments are correlated with a user selected reference well log curve. With this action, the geologists are able to ‘track’ the drilling borehole in relation to the target geologic interval. The Geosteerer can then determine if the drilling path needs to be adjusted: Add or Drop angle to point the drill bit up or down.

Features BenefitsFast and robust method of integrating well data and seismic data to steer the drill bit

One click data loading: nearly instantaneous, automatic well data loading

Quick, efficient Manual Correlation or innovative Automatic Correlation

Cost effectiveness: increasing drilling productivity and accuracy

Simple for the geosteering geoscientist to set up and use

Constant awareness of the original planned wellbore, the actual drilling wellbore and the predicted wellbore path

Integrated Real-Time Geosteering

Geosteering Data Detection/Loading and Log Correlation.

Kingdom Geosteering provides both manual and auto log curve correlation options We will automatically take the new data segment correlate it with the Reference Well data and post the results, outputting the new drilling plan coordinates. This is unique to Kingdom.

The application will detect faults in the correlation process and allows the user to create a Kingdom fault and digitize it in the Geosteering view. This fault is not just a line on the display. This integrated project functionality is unique to Kingdom.

When new log data for the drilling well is detected in the data directory, the New Log Data dialog box appears with both the plotted curve for preview, and the log table.

The same functionality exists for deviation survey data. As new deviation survey data for the drilling well is detected in the data directory, the data is automatically displayed for preview before loading into the Geosteering case.

In both cases, the data is also loaded and updated in the Kingdom project.
