The application of reservoir simulation as a tool for reservoir development and management is widespread in the oil and gas industry. Moreover, it is recognized that the results of any reservoir simulation model are strongly influenced by the underlying geologic model. However, the direct relationship between geologic parameters and subsurface flow is obscure. In this paper we explore this relationship in a deepwater depositional system using data from two reservoir analogs: the shallow seismic dataset from the Mahakam Fan and outcrop data from the Brushy Canyon Formation of West Texas.
