ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method of locating oil and gas exploration prospects. A digital model of each of the many geologic strata that compose a basin is created for all or a portion of a basin by digitizing well log data100, collecting all digitized well log data in a data base, marking common geological time markers throughout the entire basin and visually displaying the basin in a number of useful views380, 580to permit the isolation or identification of oil and gas producing geological formations. This allows for the generation of oil and gas drilling prospects600through the extrapolation of productive depositional features into un-drilled portions of the basin. The present invention expedites these processes and allows the available well log data to be viewed in ways not previously possible thereby greatly enabling oil and gas exploration and development in a basin.
