Dynel2D

Mechanically-based 2D reconstruction of complex geological structures.

Dynel2D is an avant-garde easy to use restoration and forward modeling tool based on the 2D finite element method (FEM).

Dynel2D integrates geological and geophysical data on horizons and faults with geomechanical analyses of the deformation (i.e. displacement, strain and stress) associated with the geological structure development using the fundamental principles of physics, which govern rock deformation.

Dynel2D provides fast physically-based means for solving various aspects of the subsurface issues related to structure interpretation and evolution though time.

Key features

• Accurate 2D models
  Dynel2D can forward model and restore complex contractional and extensional structures (i.e. cross section). There is no need to choose between multiple algorithms.



• Easy 2D model building
  Dynel2D has built-in 2D model building workflow that allows easy creation of cross sections.



• Physically-based restoration
  Dynel2D honours the fundamental physical laws, which govern rock deformation. They replace and/or complement the geometrical assumptions and kinematics relationships.



• Realistic boundary conditions
  Dynel2D uses realistic boundary conditions and constraints:
  • There is no need to have discontinuous rigid blocks
  • Faults are treated as real discontinuity which mechanically interact
  • Faults do not have to be fixed in space



• Real rock behaviour
  Dynel2D uses heterogeneous rock properties. Mechanical properties can be assigned locally to simulate the behaviour of real reservoir rock variations.



• Strain-based compaction
  Dynel2D has built-in strain-based compaction (or decompaction) allowing fault slip while compacting.



• Full deformation attributes
  Dynel2D computes the displacement, strain and stress fields anywhere in the cross-section.



• Handy graphic interface
  Dynel2D graphic user interface, workflows and tools facilitate the modeling. It allows automatic replay of the complete restoration workflow after alteration of the initial structure interpretation.



• Fast computation
  Dynel2D restore Basin scale cross-sections in few minutes on your personal laptop, allowing testing several interpretations.
