COMPARISON OF ORDINARY AND UNIVERSAL KRIGING INTERPOLATION TECHNIQUES ON A DEPTH VARIABLE (A CASE OF LINEAR SPATIAL TREND), CASE STUDY OF THE ŠANDROVAC FIELD

Description
Summary:Universal Kriging has not until now been used for mapping of geological data in Croatia. However, it is one of the most frequently used methods of Kriging, probably the most adequate in cases when the input data is marked by a common trend. That exact feature is often an attribute of deep geological data, and thereby that of structural maps. Mapped surfaces in a row of examples have a structural trend towards one cardinal direction, or a sequence of geological structures, like anticlinorium, is a part of a structural unit of a higher order such as regional monocline. An example is given of geographical trend recognition in e-log Z’ surface spread in Šandrovac Field as well as successful mapping of that marker depth variable by using Universal Kriging.
