The display of the architecture of a reservoir in 3-D is invaluable for understanding the interaction of the reservoir components. The diagram on this page is the depth to the top of the first occurrence of the minimum porosity for fluid flow in the reservoir. Local secondary gas caps can be predicted with this method.

Complex diagrams including multiple structural surfaces, faults, and well bores can be illustrated in this manner. Multiple renderings with variations in interpretation and well bore trajectories can be used as an aid in field development planning.
