Abstract
A computer system and a hybrid method for combining multipoint statistic and object-based methods include creating a multi-point statistics (MPS) model using a MPS method that satisfies conditioning data and constraints in which the multi-point statistics are derived from a training image created using training-image generation parameters; generating one or more object-shape templates and depositional or structural coordinates of each facies type using the generation parameters; positioning the one or more generated templates within the MPS model such that the one or more generated templates maximally correlate to the MPS model; assigning to each of the one or more positioned templates a unique event; providing depositional or structural coordinates to each cell associated with a given event number; and modeling properties using the coordinates to capture geological trends within each template.
