Abstract
Summary
We have created a novel approach to interrogate and select relevant ancient and modern analogue data from world class relational databases and then directly inform facies modelling algorithms used in reservoir modelling. We present a case study where the direct application of parameterised analogue information has been combined with well data and a pre-existing structural model, to generate more informed hydrocarbon volume ranges and lateral connectivity estimates based upon more realistic geological architectures. The case study shown leverages the capabilities of a fluvial architectural database, however our objective it to extend this approach to cover other siliciclastic environments.
