A computer implemented method for detecting a channel system comprises importing channel data, wherein the channel data includes intensity measurements associated with locations in the channel system. The method further comprises calculating, by a processor, directional first derivative data of the intensity measurements; selecting a plurality of localized test wavelets; calculating, by the processor, a plurality of fit-measures, wherein the plurality of fit-measures indicate correlations between the directional first derivatives and the plurality of localized test wavelets; and determining a plurality of selected wavelets from the plurality of localized test wavelets based on the plurality of fit-measures, wherein the plurality of selected wavelets model the channel system.

A system configured to model geometric architectures of flow events in geological reservoirs. In one embodiment, the system comprises a geological control input, a rules module, and a modeling module. The geological control input is configured to receive a set of environmental conditions that act as geological controls impacting a geometric architecture of a geological reservoir at a point in geologic time. The rules module is configured to apply a set of rules to the set of environmental conditions present at the point in geologic time to determine geometric flow parameters of the geometric architecture, wherein the set of rules comprise one or more empirical rules. The modeling module is configured to model the geometric architecture based on the geometric flow parameters determined for the flow event by the rules module.
