Abstract


River deltas are one of the main sedimentation zones. They contain significant amounts of hydrocarbons. Sediments in deltas often form heterogeneous reservoirs with complex sediment geometries. This complicates both the definition of the conceptual structure of sediments and their development. The article focuses on two points: the type of delta determines the orientation of the distribution of reservoirs and the correlation of well sections, taking into account the features of the delta structure.

Key words:

general correlation, detailed correlation, accumulation cycle, geometry and orientation of bodies, core studies
