Some of the Many Good Reasons To Run Simulations Before Drilling or Shooting Seismic

• Understand what is known and what the key assumptions are.
• Test for the quality of source rock in the region.
• See if you can image a the objective conditions.
• Understand the drainage patterns of the reservoir.
• Test for buried volcanos.
• Provide geologically constrained input to seismic processing.
• See when the structure formed with respect to the reservoir interval.
• Predict the reservoirs that were overlooked.
• Show your funders what you're talking about.
• See what was most likely occurring at the time of deposition.
• See what was controlling the distribution of strata during the time of deposition.
• Test Geologic Hypotheses.
