Abstract

Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for optimizing variogram ranges uncertainties. Variogram modeling is performed using variogram models on wells in parallel (major), normal (minor), and vertical directions for continuous log porosity to select a best-fit variogram model using large uncertainty ranges and a preferred-normal distribution. A distribution of geological properties is determined onto the best-fit variogram model. Multiple realizations are executed to determine predicted porosities over the best-fit variogram model. Correlation coefficients of actual porosity versus predicted porosity are generated using the multiple realizations. The process is repeated until a correlation meets a predetermined acceptance criteria. A variogram range for the best-fit variogram model is optimized using a high correlation realization. Correlations are determined for the subset of wells by executing multiple realizations using a same seed number. Final optimized variogram ranges uncertainties are determined by repeating the optimizing and determining until an acceptance correlation is achieved.
