Abstract
In one embodiment, a technique is provided to cluster model prior realizations into flow-equivalent sets. Thereby, far fewer representatives are identified from each cluster that can still predict the same range of future production reliably. Only representatives of each realization cluster that indicate unique forecasts will undergo the computationally expensive process of history matching.
