oa Improving Carbonate Reservoir Models with Digital Outcrop Modeling - An Example from the Cretaceous Natih Formation, Sultanate of Oman

In order to ground-truth and quantify both the external and internal make up of geobodies, outcrop analogues for the Natih Formation of Oman were used. By deploying a digital outcrop modelling workflow, geobodies observed in outcrop can be quantified efficiently and effectively. The main objective of the study was to develop recommendations and guidelines on ways to incorporate these type of geobodies into static and dynamic models. Furthermore, the digital outcrop models will be presented as virtual reality (VR) training datasets spanning resolutions ranging from sector-scale to thin section-scale.
