Abstract: a method related to generating a facies-cement model of a subsurface region. the method includes obtaining depositional data regarding the subsurface region, wherein the depositional data incudes wave impact data. the method further includes generating, by a computer processor, a geological model for the subsurface region using a forward-depositional modeling process and the depositional data, wherein the geological model comprises wave energy data. the method further includes determining, by the computer processor, carbonate cementation data for the subsurface region using a diagenetic modeling process and the wave energy data, wherein the carbonate cementation data describes cementation in one or more depositional processes, and generating, by the computer processor, a facies-cement model of the subsurface region.

Abstract: in some examples, a computer-readable medium storing an outbound email quarantine (oeq) tool includes computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to prompt a designated reviewer to determine whether to permit transmission of an outbound email in response to a quarantine status of the outbound email indicating that the outbound email is quarantined, where the designated reviewer is determined based on characteristics of the outbound email; modify a header of the outbound email to bypass the one or more dlp policies in response to an indication from the designated reviewer to permit transmission of the outbound email; and transmit the outbound email having the modified header.
