A METHOD FOR MODELLING A FACIES LOG OF A SEDIMENTARY BASIN USING A STRATIGRAPHIC FORWARD MODELLING PROGRAM

摘要

A method for setting parameters of a stratigraphic forward modelling program for modelling the formation of a sedimentary basin, wherein the stratigraphic forward modelling program is configured to simulate the superposition of successive layers of sediments, each layer of sediments corresponding to a determined period of time, the method comprising steps of: - receiving a facies log corresponding to an initial state of at least one well belonging to the sedimentary basin, wherein the facies log comprises a succession of layers of different facies wherein each layer extends from a respective depth with a respective thickness, and - determining a number of layers of sediments to be simulated by the stratigraphic forward modelling program for modelling the facies log, and a thickness of each layer of sediments, such that each facies layer of the facies log is modelled by at least one corresponding layer of sediments simulated by the stratigraphic forward modelling program.
