Methods for constructing a geological section along wells

Figure 5: In areas with recent deposits, Pleistocene and Holocene, the specific geologic cross sections of these are constructed with the exaggerated vertical scale. This one, in particular, shows the travertines and carbonate muds of the Lake of Banyoles (Geological Map of Catalonia 1: 25.000).



Figure 6: Geological section of an underground work project in urban subsoil. The vertical scale and consequently the height of all objects is vertically exaggerated.

The depth to which the cross-sections are built depends on the work scale, the geological characteristics of the zone, the objectives of the cross-section and the available data on the subsurface. Therefore, for example, the geological cross-sections that accompany the general geological maps, and made using the data of the surface, have a depth which oscillates between some hundreds or some thousands of metres. In areas where information from hydrocarbon exploration campaigns, mainly borings (figure 7) and reflection method (figure 3), the depth of the cross-sections reach up to 6 or 7 kilometres.

On the other hand, in structurally complex areas affected by several fold systems, like those often observed in Hercynian materials, the vertical reach of the cross-sections is usually much less, due to the difficulty of extrapolating data to depth. In the case of recent materials, such as fluvial deposits, the representation depth rarely exceeds a few dozen metres (figure 5).

As the knowledge of the constitution and the behaviour of the earth’s crust and the lithosphere advances (figure 8), the construction of cross-sections with depths greater than 100 km have become routine, on a crustal or lithosphere scale due to the growing availability of deep subsurface data, such as seismic reflection, magnetotelluric, gravimetry and seismic tomography.



Figure 8: The internal structure and constitution of the Earth is known through the interpretation of geophysical data. The classical division makes reference to the composition of diverse layers: the dynamic division refers to their mechanical behaviour. Above, detail of the structure of the outermost part of the Earth (Modified from Kearey and Vine, 1990).
