Talk:Geologic modelling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have divided geologic modeling for petroleum into following:

Basin Modeling Source Rock Modeling Structure and Trap Modeling Reservoir Modeling


Geological modelling isn't just used in oil and gas. Most ore deposits are now modelled in 3D. The definitions in the main article can certainly be expanded to get away from a narrow seismic tomography definition. Rolinator



Geological modelling is now standard practice in many Geological Surveys and in the British Geological Survey most models currently built are in Superficial Deposits (Quaternary and Tertiary) for the main purpose of water resource management. I suggest this article will need some updating in that respect. I am also looking to work on the pages Geological Survey and Geology to bring out this change in practice
