Abstract
A stochastic reservoir description model is defined and a simulation procedure is implemented. The model is based on a discrete facies model with a continuous model for petrophysical variables superimposed. The facies model characterizes the reservoir as discrete facies with user-defined sizes and interactions. The petrophysical variables are defined as porosity, permeabilities and initial saturations. Their characteristics are dependent on the facies in which they occur and they may be correlated. The petrophysical variables constitute the input to the reservoir production simulators. On the basis of the stochastic model and with conditioning on available well information, several realizations of the reservoir description can be provided through simulation.
