Computer graphics offer various gadgets to enhance the reconstruction of high-order statistics that are not correctly addressed by the two-point statistics approaches. Almost all the newly developed multiple-point geostatistics (MPS) algorithms, to some extent, adapt these techniques to increase the simulation accuracy and efficiency. In this work, a scrutiny comparison between our recently dev...

In most petroleum and geoscience studies, the flow is controlled by the connectivity of extreme permeabilities (both high and low) associated with multiple-scale geological patterns. Hence, it is critical to model such patterns in order to predict successfully the flow performance. The new multiple-point geostatistical algorithm (FILTERSIM), which can handle both categorical and continuous vari...

The new multiple-point geostatistical algorithm (FILTERSIM), which can handle both categorical and continuous variable training images, is implemented in the SGeMS software. The spatial patterns depicted by the training image are first summarized into a few filter scores; then classified into pattern groups in the filter score space. The sequential simulation approach proceeds by associating ea...
