Oil reservoir's geometry reconstruction and mesh generation by using NURBS surfaces

Abstract:

In this paper the geometry of oil reservoirs is reconstructed by using NURBS surfaces. The technique exploits the reservoir's static model simplicity to build a robust piecewise continuous geometrical representation by means of Bézier bicubic patches. Interpolation surfaces can manage the reservoir's topology while translational surfaces allow extrapolating it towards its sideburdens. After that, transfinite interpolation (TFI) can be applied to generate decent hexahedral meshes. In order to test the procedure several open-to-the-public oil reservoir datasets are reconstructed and hexahedral meshes around them are generated.
