How To Better Define The Structures Using 2D And 3D Restoration Tools In Complex Areas. Case Study In The Sub Andean Zone, Bolivia.

When working in complex areas, explorationists must be able<br>- to propose geometry of the prospect to drill,<br>- to have an idea of the timing of the deformation (to<br>know if the structure is post or pre-oil maturation/<br>migration process)<br>- and to define the expected reservoir characteristics<br>often based on its fractures.<br>Geometry in complex zone could be hard to define, especially onshore in fold and thrust-belt where seismic quality is poor (high relief and steep flank structures).<br>Fractures density and timing of growth of the structure versus oil maturation require to have an idea of the kinematics of the deformation. None of these questions<br>could be solved without the appropriated tools. Integrated software is required to synthesize the data, imagine the missing part of the sub-surface geometry,<br>check the coherency of the first model, improve it through restoration in 2 and 3D, and finally propose a history of the deformation.
