Abstract

The three-dimensional geological models facilitate mineral localization and stratigraphic distribution studies. As the foundation of 3D geological modeling, structural models often fail to accurately reflect subsurface conditions due to insufficient precision. This study, based on seismic data and employing a well-seismic integration approach, determines the stratigraphic undulations by analyzing seismic wave directions. Utilizing well logging geological stratification data as constraints, we establish a high-precision 3D structural model that accurately represents stratigraphic distribution features and regional fault characteristics. This provides a solid foundation for the construction of a comprehensive geological model and offers intuitive insights into the structural characteristics of the study area.
