Abstract
Determining locations to gather information to reduce the number of locations without reducing the information gathered is of key importance when such observations require drilling or other resource-intensive activities. By utilizing ergodic sampling, the same information (volume and/or resolution) may be obtained when compared to an exhaustive grid approach but with significantly fewer observations.
