Modelling the Deposition of Strata with PHIL

PetroDynamics Provides the Most Comprehensive Set of Stratigraphic Simulators Available


PetroDynamics is distributing several levels of interactive programs that integrate a sedimentation model with a tectonic, water level and sediment-supply history to simulate the depositional history of a dip-section through a basin. They are available in multiple levels of complexity.

They allow the user to model stratal patterns in tectonic settings such as passive margins, foreland basins, growth faulting, and salt diapirs. The user can test the effect of volume and type, subsidence, compaction , flexure loading, water level, erosion rates, pre-existing bathymetry, slopes of the depositonal interfaces, basin-floor-fan timing and geometry and many other factors.
