Problems of the technique of 3D sedimentation modeling

The article “Problems of the technique of 3D sedimentation modeling” was published in the scientific and technical journal Issue 7 (355) 2021 “Geology, geophysics and exploration of oil and gas fields” by INGEOSERVICE LLC employees. The authors are Smirnov O.A., Borodkin V.N., Plavnik A. G., Lukashov A.V., Komgort M.V., Teplaykov A.A.

The paper deals with the problems of the geological basis of sedimentation modeling, numerical modeling and algorithms for numerical modeling of the sedimentation process. The principle of facies analysis and sequential stratigraphy was adopted as a geological basis. Numerical modeling is aimed at reconstructing the morphology and lithological properties of sedimentary bodies by computer simulation of the processes leading to the formation of sedimentary bodies.

Mathematical modeling algorithms are subdivided into three main complexes. The paper gives the characteristics of each of them. By the example of clinoforms of the Achimov strata in Western Siberia, models of their sedimentation are identified, various forms of sedimentary bodies are given, examples of stratigraphic unconformities are shown, etc.
