Abstract
The method for producing a geological vector model (GVM) based on seismic data includes the step of forming a Model-Grid, which includes creating a network of small units, called patches, to which a relative geological age is assigned, a set of patches with the same relative geological age corresponding to a geological layer, called the geological horizon. The method includes the step of sampling the Model-Grid in two directions perpendicular to each other, enabling the Model-Grid to be sampled in a plurality of vertical planes and the step of forming two-dimensional geological vector models (2DGVM). The step of forming includes forming two-dimensional horizons (Hb) with distinct relative geological ages using the patches belonging to each sampled plane, each two-dimensional geological vector model (2DGVM) corresponding to a vertical plane originating from the sampling of the Model-Grid.
