Ground motions recorded within sedimentary basins are variable over short distances. One important cause of the variability is that local soil properties are variable at all scales. Regional hazard maps developed for predicting site effects are generally derived from maps of surficial geology; however, recent studies have shown that mapped geologic units do not correlate well with the average s...

This paper describes one solution to the problem of constraining geostatistical models by well-test results which has been obtained within the frame of the HELIOS research project conduced by Elf and IFP in the field of reservoir engineering. To do so, a numerical simulation program devoted to the simulation of well-tests has been coupled with a nonlinear constrained optimization program to mak...
