ABSTRACT:
A method for more rapidly forming a stochastic model of Gaussian or Gaussian-related type, representative of a porous heterogeneous medium such as an underground reservoir, constrained by data characteristic of the displacement of fluids and punctual observations, these observations being uncertain and characterized by a probability law. The method transforms static information, given in form of probability laws, into Gaussian punctual pseudo-data which has the advantage of being compatible with a gradual deformation method. An objective function J measuring the difference between the dynamic data (production data for example) and the corresponding responses simulated for the reservoir model considered may be minimized.
