ABSTRACT:
A method of dipmeter processing fits a thickness conserving mathematical model to a folded or faulted subsurface sedimentary geological structure, and may be used with vertical as well as nonvertical or deviated boreholes. An initial estimate of the geometry of the structure is made and then used to generate a theoretical dip profile for the model. The dip profile is compared to an actual dip profile recorded in a borehole drilled in the structure. The estimates are modified by an iterated process until satisfactory concordance is obtained between the theoretical dip profile and actual dip profile. The iterated result gives geometric parameters which accurately model the structure. The model is graphically displayed to represent the structure. The model allows the prediction of dip configurations along any other borehole to be drilled in the structure.
