Reconstruction of meandering paleo-channels using dense well data, Daqing Oil Field, Songliao Basin, China

Abstract Reconstructing meandering paleo-channels is attracting global research attention. We implemented a novel method by comprehensively integrating migration models and sedimentary structures. Firstly, the migration architectures of the corresponding characteristics in planform and cross-section...
