Predict depositional environments between wells

One of the biggest challenges in subsurface geological interpretation is determining the depositional architecture between wells. Most reservoirs are not sampled at a density sufficient to directly resolve this architecture, so decisions about inter-well areas require a degree of prediction.

Make geologically reasonable predictions that consider both sampled data and potentially unsampled components of the depositional environment.

Introduce geological realism into your static reservoir models.

Use our Characterize Environments application to explore possible depositional environments that may be present adjacent to well locations.

These predictions are based on the following principles:

• A given local environment typically occurs within a limited set of regional-scale parent environments.
• Each parent environment supports a restricted range of local environments, which form sibling relationships. These sibling environments may coexist with the local environment identified in a well.
