The invention is a method for simulating sandstone deposition. The sandstone is simulated by estimating the grain size distribution and mineral composition of grains (1) in the sandstone, simulating sedimentation (2) of grains from the grain size distribution and mineral composition of the grains, simulating compaction (3) of the grains, and simulating cementation (4) of the grains. Properties of the sandstone such as porosity and permeability may be estimated from the simulated sandstone. The method permits multiple mineralogies to be simulated during the burial history of sedimentation, compaction and cementation.
L'invention concerne un procédé pour simuler un dépôt de grès. Le grès est simulé par l'estimation de la répartition de la taille du grain et de la composition minérale des grains (1) dans le grès, la simulation de la sédimentation (2) des grains à partir de la répartition de la taille des grains et de la composition minérale des grains, la simulation du compactage (3) des grains, et la simulation de la cimentation (4) des grains. Des propriétés du grès telles que la porosité et le perméabilité peuvent être estimées à partir du grès simulé. Le procédé de l'invention permet de simuler de nombreux minéraux lors de l'épisode d'enfouissement de la sédimentation, du compactage et de la cimentation.
