This book introduces the concepts and methods of spatial statistics
to geologists and engineers working with oil and gas data, and
covers all of the most commonly encountered geostatistical methods
for estimation and simulation. Topics include calculation and
modeling of semivariograms, linear methods of kriging, cokriging,
nonlinear methods such as indicator kriging and disjunctive
kriging, and conditional simulation, including sequential indicator
simulation, sequential Gaussian simulation, and simulated
annealing. Semivariogram models range from very simple to complex.
All of the fundamental semivariogram models are illustrated, along
with anisotropic models, hole effects, geometric and zonal models,
and the mechanics of fitting models. For each geostatistical method
treated in detail, the author introduces necessary theory and
background, describes how the method works, the steps a user must
go through, and problems a user might encounter. The emphasis
throughout is on what the practitioner needs to know, and the
results that can be expected. The book is replete with examples in
two and three dimensions, using real-world data such as porosity
and permeability, gas production, structural elevation of a
reservoir, and seismic information. Geostatistics and Petroleum
Geology will be an invaluable advanced-level text for students on
petroleum engineering and geosciences courses, as well as an
important reference for petroleum geologists and petroleum
engineers in oil companies worldwide.
