The next step in reservoir modeling is correlating the reservoir intervals from well to well ([[:file:reservoir-modeling-for-simulation-purposes_fig4.png|Figure 4]]). This procedure is strongly dependent on facies and well spacing. A requirement is a sound database of genetic unit geometry, for example, width to thickness ratio of a specific sand body type. When no deterministic correlation can be made of reservoir units, it may be necessary to use probabilistic modeling techniques, but in such cases only prototype simulations are usually carried out.<ref name=pt10r13>Haldorsen, H.
