More Information
Summary:A method can include providing a finite element grid described with respect to a lateral coordinate axis and a depth coordinate axis to model a multilayer sedimentary basin; coarsening the finite element grid with respect to the lateral coordinate axis to provide a coarsened finite element grid; performing a backstripping and forward simulation cycle using the coarsened finite element grid to provide geometry and porosity results for the model of the multilayer sedimentary basin; refining the finite element grid with respect to the lateral coordinate axis to provide a refined finite element grid; and performing backstripping and forward simulation cycle using the refined finite element grid and at least the porosity results to provide enhanced geometry and porosity results for the model of the multilayer sedimentary basin. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.
