A Practical Approach to Validate the Variogram Reproduction from Geostatistical Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
The variogram model is one of the most relevant parameters in geostatistical estimation and simulation methods. The sample variogram is inferred from available data, which may be subject to spatial bias and proportional effect. Over this sample variogram, a licit variogram model is fit and is carried through the process of estimation and/or simulation of the random function usually without regard to its uncertainty. The simulated realizations are required to adequately reproduce this input variogram model.

The Whole Story on the Hole Effect
The spatial continuity of the variables we model in geostatistics is dependent on the modelling and reproduction of the variogram. The variogram defines the relationship between variability (or geologic distance) and the lag distance (or Euclidian distance). As the magnitude of the lag separation vector increases, we typically expect the variogram to also increase. This is generally observed. T...
متن کاملGeostatistical simulation of dyke systems in Sungun porphyry copper deposit, Iran
Post-mineralization activities may cause difficulties in the process of ore modeling in porphyry deposits. Sungun, NW Iran, is one of the porphyry copper deposits, in which dyke intrusions have made ore modeling more complicated than expected. Among different kinds of dykes, two types were chosen and the consequent geostatistical analyses were applied on. In this study, simple directional vario...
متن کاملProbabilistic inference of multi-Gaussian fields from indirect hydrological data using circulant embedding and dimensionality reduction
We present a Bayesian inversion method for the joint inference of high-dimensional multiGaussian hydraulic conductivity fields and associated geostatistical parameters from indirect hydrological data. We combine Gaussian process generation via circulant embedding to decouple the variogram from grid cell specific values, with dimensionality reduction by interpolation to enable Markov chain Monte...
متن کاملGeostatistical Quantification of Geological Information for a Fluvial-Type North Sea Reservoir
Accurate prediction of petroleum reservoir performance requires reliable models of the often complex reservoir heterogeneity. Geostatistical simulation techniques generate multiple realizations of the reservoir model, all equally likely to be drawn. Traditional to geostatistics, geological continuity is represented through the variogram. The variogram is limited in describing complex geological...
متن کاملImproved Variogram Models for More Realistic Estimation and Simulation
Geostatistical models often require a variogram or covariance model for kriging and krigingbased simulation. Next to the initial decision of stationarity, the choice of an appropriate variogram model is the most important decision in a geostatistical study. Common practice consists of fitting experimental variograms with a nested combination of proven models such as the spherical, exponential, ...
