Geostatistical modelling of cyclic and rhythmic facies architectures

Abstract: A Pluri-Gaussian method is developed for facies variables in three dimensions to model vertical cyclicity related to facies ordering and rhythmicity. Cyclicity is generally characterised by shallowing-upward or deepening-upward sequences and rhythmicity by the repetition of facies at constant intervals along sequences. Both of these aspects are commonly observed in shallow-marine carbonate successions, especially in the vertical direction. A grid-free spectral simulation approach is developed, with a separable… Show more

“…The former are characterized by tight limestone and isolated vugs, whereas the latter are associated with interconnected matrix and vugs or with a combination of interconnected vugs surrounded by limestone (Parra et al, 2009). Cyclic behaviors in the vertical covariances or variograms of rock properties are often observed in carbonate sequences and can be explained by periodic processes of deposition due to eustatic sea level oscillations or to tectonic activities (Chilès and Delfiner, 2012;Le Blévec et al, 2020). The east and depth are shifted to a local coordinate system.…”
