Methodology for reorientation using
the structural dip data
The original data obtained from the reference scribelines
are computed and restored in their real spatial position
by a reorientation process in two steps.
The data are first plotted on a stereonet respectively
to each scribeline and then reprocessed in order to
obtain the best reorientation corresponding to the most
coherent geometry of sedimentary and tectonic structures
for each core: the sedimentary and tectonic trends for
each scribeline are superposed
to obtain the general trends for the core.
The trends are compared to the information given in
all available geological and geophysical documents (3D
seismic map). If the well are deviated, the data are
also corrected, at the end, following the indication
of the deviation.
All data are then reoriented a second time to obtain
trends following the geological information. This reorientation
process is done only on good preserved core fragments
to reduce the uncertainty. So we can say that this operation
is done with a low uncertainty while only the zones
presenting a good statement are treated. Considering
this hypothesis, the degree of confidence is about +/-
10° for the direction and +/- 5° for the dips.
