Visualization of complex three-dimensional data is an important part of successful stakeholder engagement and dissemination/management of geoscientific data. For example, evaluation of borehole stability requires an understanding of the complex interaction of the underlying geology, fracture mechanics of the host rock mass and the detrimental effects of the changing stress redistribution during extraction of the hydrocarbon reservoir. This research will utilize digital reconstruction of borehole data and incorporation of three-dimensional numerical modelling of borehole instability mechanisms to demonstrate how innovative use of both virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) can provide improved visualization and enhanced understanding of complex phenomena controlling deformation and failure of rock surrounding a borehole at depth. The project, through analysis of case study data, will provide new approaches for documentation and communication of modelled results through a virtual environment, highlighting spatial and temporal changes resulting from evolution of stress induced wellbore failure. AR and VR platforms provide easily distributed file formats that can be used by a wide range of stakeholders exploring the data in virtual space, from any angle, in a dynamic environment.

复杂三维数据的可视化是利益攸关方成功参与和传播/管理地球科学数据的重要组成部分。例如，井眼稳定性的评估需要了解底层地质的复杂相互作用、宿主岩体的断裂力学以及碳氢化合物储层开采期间不断变化的应力重新分布的有害影响。这项研究将利用钻孔数据的数字重建和钻孔不稳定机制的三维数值建模，以展示虚拟和增强现实（VR和AR）的创新使用如何改善可视化，并增强对控制钻孔周围岩石变形和破坏的复杂现象的理解。该项目，通过案例研究数据的分析，将提供新的方法，通过虚拟环境，突出空间和时间的变化所造成的应力引起的井筒故障的演变，为文件和通信的模拟结果。AR和VR平台提供了易于分发的文件格式，可供广泛的利益相关者在动态环境中从任何角度探索虚拟空间中的数据。
