Abstract:
Depositional reconstruction for petroleum location is a new exploration-development technique for delineating hydrocarbon accumulations and prospect development. The technique uses existing information and establishes a relationship between present day subsurface structure and stratigraphic prehistoric reservoir development for determination and projection of relative reservoir development, definition and grading of combination structural-stratigraphic type traps, determination of permeability barriers, migration paths, accumulation areas, prospect grading, pressure cells and prediction of fluid movement. Depositional reconstruction results in a summary map which outlines productive areas, shows potential extensions, graded prospects, relative reservoir developments, and the other stratigraphic conditions which control the successful economic exploitation of a potential horizon.
