Gempy is an open source Python library for generating full 3D structural geological models. The library is a complete development to create geological models from interfases, faults, and layer orientations, it also relates the sequence of geological layers to represent rock intrusions and faults order.

Algorithms for geological modeling are based on universal cokriging interpolation with the support of high-end Python mathematical libraries such as Numpy, PyMC3 and Theano.

Content

This webinar covers a basic example of a stratified geological setup with 5 layers and one fault. These are the main steps:

  • Create a Gempy object and import geological contacts and orientations from csv files.

  • Define stack from layers.

  • Define faults and review relations.

  • Plot surface points and orientations.

  • Set interpolator and perform interpolation.

  • Plot interpolated geological model.

  • Export 3D geological model to Paraview.

You need to have Gempy installed under Debian, please follow this tutorial. Paraview is also required for the visualization of the geological, please download it from here.

Instructor

Saul Montoya M.Sc.

Mr. Montoya is a Civil Engineer graduated from the Catholic University in Lima with postgraduate studies in Management and Engineering of Water Resources (WAREM Program) from Stuttgart University – Germany with mention in Groundwater Engineering and Hydroinformatics. Mr Montoya has a strong analytical capacity for the interpretation, conceptualization and modeling of the surface and underground water cycle and their interaction. 

He is in charge of numerical modeling for contaminant transport and remediation systems of contaminated sites. Inside his hydrological and hydrogeological investigations Mr. Montoya has developed an holistic comprehension of the water cycle, understanding and quantifying the main hydrological dynamic process of precipitation, runoff, evaporation and recharge to the groundwater system.
