Abstract
Geologic modeling methods and systems disclosed herein employ an improved simulation gridding technique. For example, an illustrative geologic modeling method may comprise: obtaining a geologic model representing a faulted subsurface region in physical space; mapping the physical space geologic model to a design space model representing an unfaulted subsurface region; gridding the design space model to obtain a design space mesh; partitioning cells in the design space mesh with faults mapped from the physical space geologic model, thereby obtaining a partitioned design space mesh; mapping the partitioned design space mesh to the physical space to obtain a physical space simulation mesh; and outputting the physical space simulation mesh.
