Seismic models of outcrops is essential
for qualifying petroleum targets, because they provide an important scale-link
between the architectural geometries observed in outcrops and in seismic.
Traditionally, such modeling is carried out at the scale of individual
reservoir elements, such as for deep-water channels or sheets. Generating
outcrop-based seismic models at basin scale is unusual, mainly because of
outcrop limitations, but has significant advances for calibrating seismic
stratigraphy to lithology.
