Building a 3d geological model advice?

[KAED MORSKAD]

Hello everyone,

I have some borehole data that i wanted to use to construct the 3d geological model which i need to use later for groundwater modelling. I tried with python, however not so much look and gempy code is not really working that good in my case. Does anyone know a simpler way to do this. Maybe a free software or more information related to using python. I have around 400 borehole data profiles in a very small area, so i do not believe it has to do with the insufficient data.  I am sharing the file template i am using for this purpose. 

Thank you in advance!

Best,

Kaed

Hi Kaed,

I use Viewlog for this purpose (i.e. conceptual model). You may download and use it. It is not free but the demo version works fine except saving the project.

Dawood

Thank you for your reply Dawood,

however i need to export the data because i need them to use for modelling afterwards.

Hi Kaed,

There will be no issue of exporting the data in about a dozen formates. All functions of the software work. The only issue is you can not save the viewlog project prj/map files which you may need to open again. You may keep the software open on your computer until you satisfy the outputs.

Hello Kaed,

Assuming you have similar geological formations or lithological layers in all the boreholes but at different elevations,  you might look at what groupings of lithology intervals you would want to create as hydrogeological layers in a groundwater model.  This would set up the conceptual 3-D plan for your model.  I am not familiar with Python software, but if you can import the data into an Excel worksheet you can look at defining the X, Y, and elevation points for top of each layer in the data and create a single file of X, Y, and elevation for each layer.  It would take a bit of manual labor to create a separate worksheet for each layer (there may be ways to do this using more automated means but I am not knowledgeable on that). But once saved as CSV's, you can import these into ModelMuse (free user interface for MODFLOW) to create an accurate 3-D conceptual model and build your groundwater model from there, creating areas of hydraulic conductivity, boundary conditions, recharge, etc.

Best wishes for a successful outcome!
