Methods for constructing a geological section along wells

Photo 1: The recovery of continuous drill cores allows us to know first hand the constitution and the thickness of the subsurface rocky units. 



Figure 3: The geophysical techniques give information about the physical properties of the rocks of the subsurface. The figure shows a seismic profile (a) in which the so-called reflectors can be observed: these are the response to seismic waves by horizons reflecting them. They give an image similar to that of a clinical ultrasound. The vertical scale of the seismic profiles refers to the time the seismic waves take to go from an emission source situated on the surface, to a horizon that reflects them and back in order to be registered by a receptor; the time of this vertical scale, graduated in milliseconds, is a two way travel time (TWT). To be able to transform the vertical scale in TWT of the seismic waves into a vertical scale in meters is necessary to know the density of the medium through which the waves move and their speed. In order to determine these parameters other geophysical techniques are used, generally refraction method or gravimetry supported, whenever possible, by boring data. The line drawing (b) identifies the reflectors which can be observed in the seismic profiles and shows the disposition of the rocky formations in the subsurface. Finally the interpreted profile (c) is constructed.

The quality and the realization costs of the geological cross-sections are closely linked to the regional geological knowledge; even so, as already commented in the section dedicated to geological cartography, from the construction of geological cross-sections geological theory is also deduced.

The construction of a geological cross-section requires the consecution of a series of steps and the application of specific techniques for its validation. In order to reduce the degrees of interpretation of the rocks arrangement in depth to a minimum and to ensure the reliability of the cross-section, geometric techniques which permit the correct integration of the greatest possible amount of data are used, (figure 4), since it is necessary to avoid the accumulation of errors in the various stages of construction of the cross-section, especially in the early stages. So, in the areas with a simple, flat structure, with low and constant dips of the stratification, the scope of the extrapolation of data is much wider. On the other hand, in areas with folds, normal faults or thrusts it will be necessary to apply some restrictions in accordance with the geometric models typical of each structural style.
