===Stage 1. Construction of a regional geological framework===

To assist in the understanding of the depositional and diagenetic events that have created and modified the reservoir rocks, analysis of the regional geological framework can be very helpful. Elements of the regional geology most useful for this include regional thickness and lithofacies patterns, the plate tectonic history of the area, the local structural history, the history of exploration and production in the area, the burial history including major erosional and/or nondepositional events, and in particular, the thermal and pressure history of the reservoir.
