WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
We need you, engineers
• Take good care of our geomodels while using them in engineering tasks.

• DB errors spotted late in the
project often lead to redoing
a big part of the project.
• Yes!
• Well tops
• Seismic interp
• Time-to-depth
conversion
• Velocity modeling
• Choice of
modeling by
TVDSS or
isopach
• Geomodels can
take them into
account.

• Both!
• Use kriging to test different variograms.
• For the one or several variogram picked, use simulation
to work on the uncertainties on proportions.
• Create multiple realizations from a range of variograms
and a range of proportions, using simulation
techniques.
