Abstract
A method for modeling turbidite channels which may contain oil that it is desired to extract is provided in which the final shape of the complex resulting from migration of elementary channels over the course of deposition and which is observable from seismic data is combined with the implementation of simple geometric rules, comprising simulation of one or several intermediate channels passing through points on trajectories running from a final channel to an initial channel. The trajectories involved are different from the channel axes or lines; they reflect channel migration over time.
