The reasons for writing this book are very simple. We use and teach
com puter aided techniques of mathematical simulation and of
pattern recogni tion. Life would be much simpler if we had a
suitable text book with methods and computer programmes which we
could keep referring to. Therefore, we have presented here material
that is essential for mathematical modelling of some complex
geological situations, with which earth scientists are often
confronted. The reader is introduced not only to the essentials of
computer modelling, data analysis and pattern recognition, but is
also made familiar with the basic understanding with which they can
plunge into when solving related and more complex problems. This
book first makes a case for seismic stratigraphy and then for
pattern recognition. Chapter 1 provides an extensive review of
applications of pattern recognition methods in oil exploration.
Simulation procedures are presented with examples that are fairly
simple to understand and easy to use on the computer. Several
geological situations can be formulated and simulated using the
Monte Carlo method. The binary lithologic sequences, discussed in
Chapter 2, consist of alternating layers of any two of sand, shale
and coal."
