Abstract:
An experiment in three-dimensional quantitative description and computer manipulation of geologic and oil-occurrence information illustrates the versatility with which these data can be utilized. A geologic unit--for example, a sedimentary basin--is divided into discrete cells. Descriptive attributes such as lithology or oil reserves are assigned to each of the cells. A computer program selectively samples the data set for units with specified characteristics and handles the resulting subset by adding, counting, cross
-tabulating, or general FORTRAN manipulation. Output may be in the form of printed
maps
and
cross
sections
, quantitative description of geologic conditions, and tabulated relations between oil occurrence and various geologic parameters. Data organized in this
manner can be utilized efficiently and flexibly for exploration and management purposes.
