Abstract
The invention notably relates to a computer-implemented method for analyzing a hydrocarbon trap, for hydrocarbon production. The hydrocarbon trap has a top surface. The method comprises providing one or more geological meshes each representing the top surface. Each geological mesh has cells each representing a location on the top surface. The method further comprises for each geological mesh, determining one or more cells on the geological mesh. Each determined cell corresponds to a respective saddle of the trap.
