Abstract

A computer system receives multiple datapoints of a geomechanical property of a hydrocarbon reservoir modeled by a three-dimensional (3D) grid. Each datapoint corresponds to a respective grid cell of the 3D grid. Each grid cell of the 3D grid is represented by 3D coordinates. For each grid cell of the 3D grid, the computer system generates a data component of the geomechanical property based on the 3D coordinates of the grid cell. The computer system adds the data component to a datapoint corresponding to the grid cell to provide an augmented set of datapoints. The computer system transforms the augmented set of datapoints into a Gaussian distribution using Gaussian approximation. The computer system simulates the geomechanical property of the hydrocarbon reservoir based on the Gaussian distribution using sequential Gaussian simulation. A display device of the computer system generates a graphical representation of the geomechanical property of the hydrocarbon reservoir based on the sequential Gaussian simulation.
