Abstract

Three-dimensional geological models of the subsurface, generated either with geostatistical or boolean methods, are used for improving the
management of oil reservoirs and aquifers (Koltermann and Gorelick 1996). Subsurface facies models are usually limited due to sparse sampling of the
sedimentary heterogeneity by wells, bore holes and the seismic data resolution limits. The use of outcrop analogues (i.e. locations where the geology is especially accessible and exposed) can help overcome or minimize this limitation. The main
application of analogues is to provide soft data to be used in subsurface facies modelling, resulting in geologically realistic models.
