Abstract
The Most Predictable Surface (MPS) Mapping Method in Petroleum Exploration
ABSTRACT
This paper introduces a numerical procedure for displaying facies configuration and the rate of facies change. The procedure is termed the Most Predictable Surface (MPS) mapping method.
The Beaverhill Lake Group and Nisku Formation of the Western Canada Basin were analyzed as examples to demonstrate the use of MPS mapping in subsurface facies analysis. The facies variants of the Beaverhill Lake Group suggest anomalies that would have helped explorationists pinpoint areas for intensive geophysical surveys. The paleotopography of the Nisku Formation outlines areas favourable for the developments of fore-, barrier, or patch reefs. The MPS method could, therefore, have led to geological and geophysical exploration in the areas of interest.
