Abstract
A system and method of modeling a geological body in a contemporary formation is presented that includes constructing a geological object based on an original depositional paleo-space associated with the contemporary formation, and copying the geological object, transforming the copy of the geological object based on a deformation model of the contemporary formation using acquired data, the transforming allowing modeling of the deformed formation geological body and a lateral extent spanning a plurality of fault blocks.
