Abstract
Systems and methods for updating a property map during conditional simulation or unconditional simulation using interactive azimuth guidelines, well data and/or variogram parameters.
Claims20
A method for updating a property map during a simulation, which comprises:
- selecting an algorithm to update the property map based on a conditional simulation or unconditional simulation;
- selecting a variogram parameter to update the property map;
- updating the property map using the algorithm and the variogram parameter, the updated property map representing a new property map;
- rendering an image of the new property map;
- drawing an azimuth guideline on the new property map or adding user-defined well data to the new property map;
- updating the new property map using the algorithm, the variogram parameter and one of the azimuth guideline and the user-defined well data;
- and
- rendering an image of the updated new property map.
The method of claim 4, further comprising rendering an image of the two-dimensional grid or the three-dimensional grid representing the property map.
A non-transitory program carrier device tangibly carrying computer executable instructions for updating a property map during a simulation, the instructions being executable to implement:
- selecting an algorithm to update the property map based on a conditional simulation or unconditional simulation;
- selecting a variogram parameter to update the property map;
- updating the property map using the algorithm and the variogram parameter, the updated property map representing a new property map;
- rendering an image of the new property map;
- drawing an azimuth guideline on the new property map or adding user-defined well data to the new property map;
- updating the new property map using the algorithm, the variogram parameter and one of the azimuth guideline and the user-defined well data;
- and
- rendering an image of the updated new property map.
The program carrier device of claim 11, further comprising repeating the steps in claim 13 until the simulation is finished.
