This PhD project describes a high-resolution, three-dimensionanal model of two parasquence sets of the late Cretaceous Ferron Sandstone, a fluvial dominated deltaic reservoir analogue exposed in Utah, USA. The model was first used to quantify the facies architecture of this analogue and then as the reference to compare stochastic modelling techniques: 1) object based modelling (OBM); 2) sequential indicator simulation (SISIM); 3) multiple point statistics (MPS); and 4) spectral component geologic modelling (SCGM).
