Abstract
Disclosed is a method of monitoring the behavior of a subsurface volume. The method comprises transforming a single discrete parameter or an ensemble of discrete parameters describing an attribute of the subsurface volume, each discrete parameter having N possible discrete values with N≥2, into N indicator parameters each having 2 possible discrete values; for each of the two value classes of each indicator parameter, determining the anisotropic distance to a value transition interface; transforming each of the indicator parameters into a corresponding continuous parameter using the determined anisotropic distance to the value transition interface; and using the continuous parameters in a history matching process.
