Overview

If well logs are up-scaled, they can be used in Deterministic and Stochastic modeling If no logs are available, deterministic methods cannot be used, only unconditional stochastic methods.

Deterministic

Interpolation with smooth effect Kriging, Moving average

Petrophysical
Stochastic Regenerate local variation
Sequential Gaussian Simulation SGS

Common Settings

Two main buttons are available: Common Zone Settings Define Common settings for all zones: Use filter Ensure that all cells get a value Number of realizations

Zone Settings
1. Define Zone settings for each zone: A. Press the Zones button. B. Select zone of interest from the dropdown menu. 2. Select proper modeling technique: A. Press the padlock button to open the settings for the selected zone B. Select a method from the drop-down menu for the zone

Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) Set Up

1A 1. Property and zone selection A. Make sure to pick the correct upscaled property ([U] as suffix). B. Select SGS as method for the zone. 2. Variogram tab: A. Specify Range, Nugget and Type B. or get a variogram from Data Analysis 3. Distribution tab: Select Standard and From Upscaled logs Used if upscaled logs Used if no/few upscaled logs From distribution function

Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) Results

SGS is a krig-based stochastic method Needs a variogram. Will honor the distribution of the input data (upscaled logs). Petrel will automatically do a Normal score transformation before the simulation, and will backtransform the data. The output is distributed in a blurry manner.

QC Results
1-3 4

QC results in a histogram: Go to the Settings for the Property and select Histogram tab Check that the Histogram follows the distribution from: 1) 2) 3) Raw logs Upscaled cells 3D grid

Filter: 4) Use Zone filter 5) Filter on other property values by pressing the filter button and go to Property filter in Settings for the Properties folder.

Property Calculator SW Property Example

SW is a function of height above fluid contact, permeability and porosity. Two main options: 1) Type in a simple expression. This requires: Above Contact property from Geometrical modeling. Function (imported or made in Petrel (SW vs. height)).
