XT Basin Modelling

About

This code repository contains a suite of tools written in Python for various aspects of modelling fluid flow in sedimentary basins and other geological systems.

Reading faults from shapefiles

  • Read fault metadata, bounding box and fault segments from a shapefile

Mesh generation

  • Generate a 3D mesh from fault traces provided as lists of points, along with corresponding fault metadata (dip, dip direction, thickness)
  • Mesh generated using Gmsh
  • Can take fault traces and metadata generated by read_shpfile.py
  • Mesh is refined around faults
  • Faults can be meshed volumetrically (if a thickness is provided) or as lower-dimensional (2D) features (if thickness is omitted or zero)
  • Mesh can be refined around specified points and/or surfaces provided as STEP files (optional)
