Storage Potentials - Lithofacies Model Buntsandstein German North Sea

The lithofacies model of the Buntsandstein shows the spatial and temporal distribution of the lithologies within the Buntsandstein sequences in the central part of the German North Sea. The data basis of the model is formed by depth-migrated, seismic reinterpretations of the most important basement areas, 22 drilling datasets and the GSN (Generalised Extended Structural Model of the German North Sea Sector). The salt structures of the German North Sea and 30 faults essential for the structural setup of the model region were integrated into the model in a generalised way. The creation of the model and the preceding data preparation were carried out with the help of several specialised programmes (Schlumberger Petrel, Paradigm GOCAD and Fugro GeoDIn). The horizontal resolution of the model is 1000 x 1000 metres with a total number of 2042977 cells.
