    Basin Modelling: Application of Surpac by Using Borehole Data. A Case Study: Soma Basin, Western Anatolia

    Uploaded by

    Saii A Life
    This paper describes using Surpac software to model the Soma Basin in western Anatolia using borehole data. Surpac was used to correlate buried stratigraphic units between boreholes and create 3D geological cross sections of the basin. 339 exploration boreholes provided data on Neogene sediments and basement rocks in the basin. This data was analyzed using Surpac to measure stratigraphic units, correlate them between wells, and construct a 3D model of the basin geometry showing faults. The model indicates the southwest basin margin is deeper and bounded by the active Karadere fault. Younger faults only cut the lower Miocene units. The basin structure provides insights into the ages and origins of faults in the region.
