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.
