Abstract

A method includes receiving a model representing a real subsoil geological formation. The model includes a stratigraphic layer, which includes a shore line dividing the stratigraphic layer into a continental zone and a marine zone. First and second flow speed fields are received, with the first flow speed field representative of a continental domain for the stratigraphic layer, and the second flow speed field representative of a marine domain for the stratigraphic layer. A global flow speed field is determined and includes a weighted combination of the first and second flow speed fields for each position in the stratigraphic layer. Weights of the combination are based on a distance of the position to the shore line and whether the position is within the continental zone or the marine zone. The real subsoil geological formation for the stratigraphic layer is determined based on the determined global flow speed field.
