Claim One:
1. A method for modelling complex geological sequences, the method comprising: identifying, by a computer processor, one or more MRS shoreline facies positions for each actual top surface that is an MRS actual top surface using a paleographic map; calculating, by the computer processor, one or more LST termination positions against a respective sequence boundary position using at least one of the one or more MRS shoreline facies positions; defining, by the computer processor, one or more lateral zones within a gross interval thickness using each LST termination position and each MRS shoreline facies position; creating, by the computer processor, one or more conceptual geologic rules for each system tract interval as a function of each lateral zone; creating, by the computer processor, new actual top surfaces for each system tract interval within the gross interval thickness using the conceptual geological rules; selecting, by the computer processor, one or more well locations based on the new actual top surfaces and the conceptual geologic rules; and drilling one or more wells based on the selected one or more well locations.
