The Digital Architecture of the Subsoil refers to the art and technique of projecting, designing, and building digital models of the subsurface, which allow efficient and sustainable exploitation. It is to build a model that transforms data into information and information into knowledge for the decision-making process in the value chain of the oil business. For this purpose, the integration, classification, visualization, analysis, and decision-making based on the information is vital for the construction of the digital model that allows us to make the correct business decisions. The intention of this work is to present in a simple way the procedures to be carried out for the construction of such a model.
