“…Smaller-scale geometries and facies variations that are important in controlling lateral and vertical reservoir connectivity and that may compartmentalize the reservoirs, are below seismic resolution. Furthermore, accurate fluid-flow modelling may require representation by a sub-metre grid of the facies distribution, which subsequently may be further transformed to represent petrophysical properties (Dubrule, 1998;Slatt, Al-Siyabi, VanKirk, & Williams, 2000). At this scale, geostatistical modelling is a flexible and rapid way to account for the small-scale heterogeneity present within sedimentary bodies (Eschard et al, 1998;Galli & Beucher, 1997).…”

“…At this scale, geostatistical modelling is a flexible and rapid way to account for the small-scale heterogeneity present within sedimentary bodies (Eschard et al, 1998;Galli & Beucher, 1997). The achievement of realistic geostatistical models requires the definition of several geological parameters, many of which are derived from selected analogue outcrops (Alexander, 1993;Kupfersberger & Deutsch, 1999;Slatt et al, 2000;Stephen, Clark, & Gardiner, 2001). Subsurface reservoir models built using subsurface data alone suffer from either discontinuous information or information that is displayed at a too large scale of resolution to detect potentially significant variations in reservoir geological properties (Slatt, 2000).…”

“…Broad westward younging (Late Carboniferous to Permian) is consistent with diachronous closure of the RheicPhoibic Ocean (Scotese and Mckerrow, 1990, figs 16-20). Three of these formations, the Ross, Jackfork and Brushy Canyon, are popular as outcrop analogues for deep-sea-turbidite reservoirs in passive margins (sic), including Brazil, West Africa and the Gulf of Mexico (Beauboeuf et al, 1999;Martinsen et al, 2000;Slatt et al, 2000;Pyles, 2008). The Brushy and Jackfork produce oil and gas, but flow rates (e.g.…”

“…The resulting observations can be used to develop predictive models describing the architecture and facies distribution of sedimentary systems at a subseismic scale (Slatt et al, 2000;Nilsen et al, 2008). However, the link between seismic and outcrop data is still tenuous, partly because conventional linear inversion algorithms of seismic data do not provide sufficient resolution and accuracy in such depositional settings, which prevents a validation of this approach.…”
