3D grids

This data type represents the subsurface reservoir data in complete 3D (width, length, and depth). It is characterized by a regular arrangement of cells in three directions. Each cell typically contains one or more properties, such as porosity, layer number, thickness, volume, etc.The proprietary JewelGrid is used by the application when building geological and simulation models. Regular IJK grids can also be used, allowing for compatibility with other reservoir modeling tools.

For many of the human-readable 3D grid file types that follow, an example is provided of the required file format to help you identify the type of a file to load.
