Comparison of 2D and 3D uncertainty quantification in geostatistical modeling in stratigraphic formations
DownloadFall 2023
Under suitable geological conditions and depending on the modeling goals at the project’s current phase, a geological modeler could justifiably choose to estimate natural resource concentrations by building geostatistical models on a 2D grid rather than a 3D grid. While the application of these...

Thunderstorms have the potential to produce severe weather and can result in significant financial and human losses. The province of Alberta is one of Canada’s most active thunderstorm regions, with the record for insured damage due to hail. Therefore, it is crucial that thunderstorm forecasts be...

Data Driven Decisions of Stationarity for Improved Numerical Modeling in Geological Environments
DownloadSpring 2019
Generating representative models of geological domains is critical for decision making and process optimization in natural resource exploitation. Partitioning geological datasets is an important step undertaken early in geostatistical analysis to ensure that subsequent modeling stages consider...

Different quantities of information are available at various stages of the development of a mining project. Consequential decisions are made given the data available at the time. Geological uncertainty due to sparse data presents economic risks. The collection of additional information reduces...

Enhanced Geologic Modeling with Data-Driven Training Images for Improved Resources and Recoverable Reserves
DownloadFall 2015
Deterministic geologic modeling methods accurately characterize large-scale continuous features of geological phenomena, but often fail in reproducing their inherent short-scale variability. The opposite is the case with stochastic methods that lack large-scale continuity yet contain reasonable...

A numerical reservoir model is the result of studies whose main objective is to describe the dynamic behaviour of a hydrocarbon reservoir for predicting its future performance under different development and production strategies. Reservoir models are built with uncertain parameters. The...

Geostatistical modeling used to focus on the grade of the main commodity or metal being mined and sold for profit. As mining has developed, the metallurgical characteristics of the rock have become important. Geometallurgy tests are developed to understand the processing characteristics of the...

In general, less than one billionth of the volume of a deposit is sampled before production decisions. The grades and other rock properties are estimated in the unsampled volume. The success of a mine is dependent on accurate grade control. The grade control process establishes the final planned...

A challenge in petroleum geostatistics is the application of modeling algorithms such as Gaussian simulation to unstructured grids that are being used for flow simulation. Geostatistical modeling is typically applied on a fine scale regular grid and then upscaled to the unstructured grid. This...
