− | Evaluation of a structurally complex reservoir requires integration of geological and geophysical data to generate maps and cross sections that show the attitude, geometry, and thickness of key reservoir beds; the locations of crestal highs and synclinal troughs; the position, dip, and character of faults; and the location and orientation of the cutoffs of key beds on both sides of the faults. Also, fault blocks must be accurately delineated since they can effectively compartmentalize a reservoir. Maps and sections must be integrated so that they agree with each other, and they should be tested for viability and admissibility by balancing or backstripping. | + | Evaluation of a structurally complex reservoir requires integration of geological and geophysical data to generate maps and [[cross section]]s that show the attitude, geometry, and thickness of key reservoir beds; the locations of crestal highs and synclinal troughs; the position, dip, and character of faults; and the location and orientation of the cutoffs of key beds on both sides of the faults.
