Kine3D

Optimize geological interpretation through structural restoration and balancing. The Paradigm® SKUA® Kine3D® structural analysis tool restores 3D basin and reservoir models in complex areas where seismic data is scarce or of poor quality. As part of the SKUA toolset, Kine3D dramatically simplifies and accelerates the 3D restoration process by applying geologic, lithologic and geomechanical parameters to restore models to their undeformed state in both 2D and 3D. The process validates structural interpretations and geometries with embedded geologic constraints. Kine3D features include:

• Shortening and extension analysis
• Multi-surface restoration
• Cross-section interpretation and restoration
• 2D surface restoration
• 3D volume restoration
• Easy 4D basin model grid construction. Basin analysis leads to a better understanding of source rock location, migration paths and potential traps.
• Paleo-geometry calculation of the basin, an essential quantification step for prospect validation.
