3D Property Models in Alberta
We have been building and updating the three-dimensional (3D) property models as part of the Geological Framework (GF) Program since 2015. These models are designed to provide geological information and convey geological understanding to our stakeholders in an engaging 3D geospatial environment. Modern methods and software make it possible to fill in the skeleton of the Geological Framework of Alberta model (GFA model) with rock properties for individual volumes of rock.
About Our Property Modelling
We can use property modelling for:
- calculating hydrocarbon resources
- identifying connectivity between geological units
- delineating geobodies in the subsurface
- quantifying of geomechanical properties
Some rock properties we have modelled are:
- lithology
- porosity
- fluid content
- pressure
- temperature
