The paper presents the outlines of a new approach and the respective computing techniques for regional structural mapping of the sedimentary cover of the West Siberian Plate on the basis of synthetic interpretation of poorly correlated geological and geophysical data. Processing involves log data, absolute altitudes on seismic exploration profiles and digitized elevation contour lines of the model surface (or surfaces correlated to the model surface), vector images of geological discontinuities and faults, etc. The new approach makes it possible to reveal and, under certain conditions, to eliminate most obvious inconsistency in raw data and to process any number of irregularly positioned paper or electronic maps of different scales by various techniques, including smooth conjugation along curvilinear boundaries. The new method has been tested in application to Jurassic hydrocarbon reservoirs in West Siberia.
