3D Reservoir Modeling Based on Mobile Platform and OpenGL ES

Abstract

This paper discusses 3D petroleum reservoir modeling based on android platform and development of relavite graphical software system for reservoir models on the mobile terminal. Using OpenGL ES graphical library to perform graphics processing and realize 3D rendering of the mobile reservoir models. Making use of the Kriging algorithm and Choleskly method to accomplish the interpolation calculation, it is the core of all grid vertexes algorithm and cutting operation for the reservoir models. On the basis of 3D reservoir modeling, complete several 3D reservoir geological model maps, and a serial of functional maps such as rotation, translation, scaling and grid displays, peeling, axis slicing, arbitrary slicing, well connected section, etc. The software system successfully passed the tests of some oil field data. The 3D reservoir modeling based on mobile platform enables the professional persons to analyse the reservoir distribution and direct the oil well drilling feasibly and easily, which will bring great convenience for technical exchanges of oil and gas exploration.
