The Shared Earth Model Re-Visited A new generation of integrated models will actively add value to subsurface studies and reservoir management.

A new generation of integrated models will actively add value to subsurface studies and reservoir management. P. A.Gutteridge & D. E Gawith THE SHARED EARTH MODEL RE-VISITED Introduction There is an earth model implicit in the work of every subsurface discipline. Seismic interpretation is guided by a constantly-reviewed mental model. A flow simulation model is a numerical abstraction guided by the engineer's feeling for the dynamic effects of geological features and rock properties. Sedimentol...
