Abstract: A process using a stored program processor for modeling a geologic volume which has inclined, stacked layers of sedimentary deposits. The process employs a model volume with layers of cells which are inclined and stacked analogous to the layers of sedimentary deposits. The cells are also arranged in vertical columns.
Abstract: A process for modeling a bounded volume having a given geologic stratigraphic pattern, other than a volume having layers of uniform thickness parallel to mean sea level. The process comprises the steps of constructing a separate grid for each critical surface bounding said volume and constructing layers of cells according to the stratigraphic pattern.
