ABSTRACT

Direct sequential Previous HitsimulationNext Hit is a new approach to stochastic Previous HitsimulationNext Hit that does not require any prior transformation of the original variable or any posterior transformation of simulated values. To simulate continuous variables, the algorithm uses the estimated local mean and variance to sample from a global cumulative distribution function. An advantage of this approach over sequential Gaussian Previous HitsimulationNext Hit or sequential indicator Previous HitsimulationNext Hit is that it accommodates the joint Previous HitsimulationNext Hit of several variables under the direct Previous HitsimulationNext Hit principle; that is, coregionalization Previous HitmodelingNext Hit is performed with the original variables. The direct joint Previous HitsimulationTop methodology is presented in this chapter, and a representative set of examples is provided to illustrate the potential of the method to incorporate secondary information in the characterization of oil reservoirs.
