Abstract

Simulated wells may be selected from a subsurface representation to serve as representation of the corresponding simulated subsurface region. Spatial coverage of a simulated well for the simulated subsurface region may be determined based on extent of similarity between the simulated well and other simulated wells in the subsurface representation. The simulated wells may be selected to achieve desired spatial coverage for the simulated subsurface region and to achieve desired representation of properties of interest for the simulated subsurface region.
