A dataset is generated in a database using standardized paleo-fossil and sedimentary information. Analytical operations are executed on the generated dataset. A reservoir zone thickness of a stratigraphic zone is determined based on a result of the analytical operations, where the analytical operations determine a starting occurrence and an ending occurrence of a one or more particular paleo-fossils, and where the starting occurrence and ending occurrence is used to define boundaries of the stratigraphic zone and to determine the reservoir zone thickness. A fault and fracture analysis is performed based on a result of the analytical operations. In real-time, at least one action of a hydrocarbon recovery drill is controlled, where control of the at least one action is based upon geological datum and the determined reservoir zone thickness or predictions based on the result of the fault and fracture analysis.
