The Conceptual Model panel is used to build a structured geological framework from existing project data. It does not store new data – instead it links objects from the Data Manager to geological objects that can later be used in Structural Modeling.
The panel is located on the left side of the g-Space window, below the View Manager.
Geological Objects
Create and organize geological boundaries in top-to-bottom order. Each object represents a geological level (a horizon, an unconformity, or an intrusion) within the conceptual framework of the reservoir.
Linked Data
Drag objects from the Data Manager and assign them to a geological object. Maps, horizons, markers, and well picks can all be linked, so that one geological object combines several data representations.
Conformity
Define the boundary type for each geological object:
•Depositional – a conformable boundary that follows normal deposition.
•Unconformity – an erosional or non-depositional surface that truncates older layers.
•Intrusion – a body that cross-cuts the surrounding stratigraphy.
Direction
For unconformities, define whether the object is Top truncated or Bottom truncated. This controls how the surface interacts with the layers above and below it during structural modeling.
Fault Model
Optionally link one global Fault Model to the conceptual model. The fault framework is then taken into account when the structural model is built.
