Published in 2002, the first edition of
Geostatistical Reservoir Modeling brought the practice
of petroleum geostatistics into a coherent framework,
focusing on tools, techniques, examples, and guidance.
It emphasized the interaction between geophysicists,
geologists, and engineers, and was received well by
professionals, academics, and both graduate and
undergraduate students. In this revised second edition,
Deutsch collaborates with co-author Michael Pyrcz to
provide a full update on the latest tools, methods,
practice, and research in the field of petroleum
Geostatistics. Key geostatistical concepts such as
integration of production data, scale-up, and
cosimulation receive greater attention, and new topics
like model checking, multiple point simulation, and
production data integration are included in detail.
Geostatistical methods are extensively illustrated
through enhanced schematics, work flows and examples. A
greater number of examples also are included, such as
the integration of a single geostatistical study
developed from data analysis and cleaning to
post-processing, ranking and flow simulation. New
methods, which have developed in the field since the
publication of the first edition, are discussed, such as
models for integration of diverse data sources,
surface-based, advanced object-based, event-based and
multiple point-based simulation, and spatial
boot-strap. |
