Balanced restoration consists in removing the effects of tectonic deformation in order to
recover the depositional state of sedimentary layers. Restoration thus helps in the …

We developed a new methodology for 3D restoration by coupling a geometric modelling
software and a mechanical finite-element code. This method allows the geologist to impose …

We use a new, mechanically based volumetric structural restoration tool to investigate the
mechanics of fault-related folding using natural examples imaged in three-dimensional (3-D) …

Solutions to the problem of reversing seismic fault movements are formulated using a model
based on elasticity theory, and using finite element and boundary element methods for …

Geomechanical restoration methods are dependent on boundary conditions to ensure
geological consistency of the restored model in terms of geometry and strain. Classical …

Abstract Using three-dimensional (3-D) seismic reflection data, we apply new methods of
two-dimensional (2-D) and 3-D structural restoration based on mechanical constraints to …

Avant tout, je tiensa remercier mon directeur de these, Jean-Laurent Mallet, qui m'a accepté
dans son équipe jeune et dynamique. Le projet Gocad a été, et demeure, un cadre stimulant …

We illustrate recently developed techniques of three-dimensional (3-D) geomechanical
structural restoration applied to resolve the kinematics of deformation in the sedimentary …

Fractured reservoirs have always been of interest to many researchers because of their
complexities and importance in the oil industry. The purpose of the current study is to model …

Structural restoration aims to recover rock paleo-geometries and to validate structural
interpretations. The classical methods are based on geometric/kinematic assumptions and …
