  "term": "Model",
  "field": "Oil and gas",
  "definition": "A simplified numerical or conceptual representation of the Earth's subsurface, designed to explain geophysical observations and predict geological properties. Geophysical models are built from seismic data, well logs, and geological principles to represent features like rock velocities, structures, or reservoir fluid distribution. The model's predictions are compared against actual data, and the model is refined through an iterative process called inversion until a satisfactory match is achieved.",
