Lithofacies maps show the areal variation in the depositional patterns that make up each genetic sequence within the reservoir interval. The method for constructing lithofacies maps involves extrapolating the lithofacies from the wells into the gaps between the wells. This is not easy, as there will be mostly vertical or near vertical well data in the field. The vertical facies profile may be determined reasonably confidently; however, the lateral facies progression will have to be inferred by analog and other means.
