A novel fault framework method and apparatus automatically computes therelationships between intersecting fault surfaces. When faults are loaded into the novel fault framework apparatus, all intersecting fault pairs are determined and the fault fault intersection lines are computed and stored. The intersecting fault pairs are presented and available for automatic calculation of the major/minor and above/below fault pair relationships. The geometry of both intersecting fault surfaces are examined on either side of the fault fault intersection line. This, in combination with the relative size of the faults, is analyzed to compute the major/minor and above/below relationships based on geologic assumptions and knowledge of the origin of the fault surface data. When the relationships between intersecting faults are defined, the minor fault is appropriately truncated.

Méthode et appareil inovateurs de traçage de profil de faille permettant de calculer automatiquement le rapport entre des surfaces de failles qui s'entrecroisent. Lorsque des données relatives aux failles sont entrées dans l'appareil, l'appareil relève tous les couples de failles qui s'entrecroisent, traite les lignes d'intersection des failles et les met en mémoire. Les couples de failles qui se recoupent sont affichés, et des calculs automatiques déterminent leurs relations principale/secondaire et supérieure/inférieure relatives. La géométrie des deux surfaces de faille qui se recoupent est examinée des deux côtés de la ligne d'intersection et analysée en rapport avec la taille relative des failles pour déterminer leurs relations principale/secondaire et supérieure/inférieure basées sur des hypothèses géologiques et sur la connaissance des données sur l'origine de la surface de la faille. Lorsque les relations entre les failles qui se croisent sont définies, la faille secondaire est tronquée.
