Design of 3D Virtual Reality Reservoir Models Based on Scene Simulation of VP/OpenGL Technology

This paper introduces the basic ideas and design methods of 3D virtual reality modeling of petroleum reservoir based on VP/OpenGL. On the basis of auto generating visual faces of 3D geophysical data, some software modules such as rendering, cutting and transformation of 3D reservoir models could be developed. As the simulation example presents, the system generated realistic images, and the 3D petroleum reservoir models can be controlled and roamed in real-time.
