Patent ID: 8255816

Claim:
A method of modifying a geologic model of a field, comprising: receiving field data from measurements of properties of the field; presenting a first representation of the field data in a first window; receiving a selection of a portion of the first representation of the field data; presenting the portion of the first representation in a second window as a first magnified portion, the first representation and the first magnified portion being presented concurrently; receiving a cursor position in the second window and presenting the cursor in the first window at a corresponding position with respect to the field data; receiving a modification request associated with the cursor position to modify the geologic model of the field based on inferences from the field data; modifying the geologic model of the field based on the modification request to obtain a modified geologic model of the field; based on the modified geologic model of the field: updating the first magnified portion to obtain a second magnified portion; and updating the first representation to obtain a second representation; and concurrently presenting the second magnified portion in the second window and the second representation in the first window.
