Three-dimensional geological modelling and reservoir simulations of an outcrop analogue to reservoirs of the Halten Terrace, offshore mid-Norway, are presented. The model of the outcrop incorporates (a) a detailed sedimentological understanding, (b) a set of stochastic realizations highly-constrained to the geological models and (c) streamline waterflood flow simulations assuming typical subsurface petrophysical properties from the Halten Terrace. Statistical analysis of simulation results has been used to show the importance of both the facies architecture and the spatial petrophysical model. The outcrop model has significantly improved the estimation of facies dimensions and architecture and gives a valuable insight into understanding petroleum reservoirs of the Halten Terrace.
