Exploratory Data Analysis
• Plot the data in different ways; our eyes are good at pattern detection
• Choose geological/statistical populations for detailed analyses:
• populations must be identifiable in wells without core
• must be able to map these populations (categories)
• can not deal with too many, otherwise there are too few data for reliable statistics
• often a decision must be made to pool certain types of data
• stationarity is a property of statistical models and not reality
• important and very field/data/goals-specific
• Perform statistical analyses within each population:
• ensure data quality
• look for trends
• understand “physics” as much as possible
• Decluster data for geostatistical modeling
• Statistical tools are used throughout a reservoir characterization study

5/31/2015 Exploratory Data Analysis and Spatial Modeling 3


Deterministic Models
• The most desirable type of estimation problem is one in which
there is sufficient knowledge about the phenomenon to allow a
deterministic description of it
• The data itself does not reveal what the appropriate model
should be

Data values
are height and
distance of a
bouncing ball

across a table

5/31/2015 Exploratory Data Analysis and Spatial Modeling 4


Probabilistic Models
• The available sample data are viewed as the result of some
random process.
• A random function has many possible outcomes (realizations)
each of which passes through the input data

5/31/2015 Exploratory Data Analysis and Spatial Modeling 5


Concept of Stationarity
• Spatial Data Analysis is the task of reducing spatial
patterns of geologic variability to a few clear and useful
summaries. To get some idea of the variability of
geologic data we are FORCED to make some
assumptions of stationarity of the underlying mechanism
that generated the pattern.

n Definition of Stationarity
¨A Random Function Is Said to Be Stationary When Its
Spatial Law / Statistics Are Invariant Under Translation
¨In a Strict Sense, a Random Function Is Said to Be Second-
Order Stationary When
n E[Z{x}]Exists and Does Not Depend on x, and
n For Each Pair of Random Variables Z{x} and Z{x+h}, the
Covariance Exists and Only Depends on the Separation
Distance h

5/31/2015 Exploratory Data Analysis and Spatial Modeling 7


Significance of Stationarity Assumption
• It allows us to infer the underlying spatial law that describe the
random function only by estimating the mean and variance of a
random variable and the covariance of two random variable
separated by distance h
• It forces us to identify those geological zones, both vertically
and laterally, for which the stationarity assumption holds and
partition the data accordingly
• In practice, this assumptions constitutes a compromise between
the scale of geologic variability we call stationary and the
amount of data available to estimate the parameters of the
random function

Parameters of a Random Function
• Covariance Function is a statistical function that is used to measure correlation. It is a
measure of similiarity.
• C(h)
• Correlogram
• r(h)
• Variogram is a measure of variability; it increases as samples become dissimiliar
• g(h)
{
2g ( h) = E [z (u ) - z (u + h)]
2
}
• For stationary random functions these 3 parameters are related by the following
expressions
g(h) = C(0) - C(h)
C(h) = g(¥) - g(h)
r(h) = C(h) / C(0)

Variogram Terminology
• Sill
• The variance of the data (1.0 if the data are normal)
• The plateau that the variogram reaches at the range
• Range
• As the separation distance between pairs increases, the corresponding variogram
value will generally increase. Eventually, an increase in the separation distance no
longer causes a corresponding increase in the averaged squared difference between
pairs of values.The distance at which the variogram reaches this plateau is the range
• Nugget effect
• Natural short-range variability (microstructure) and measurement error
• Although the value of the variogram for h=0 is strictly 0, several factors, such as
sampling error and short term variability, may cause sample value separated by
extremely short distances to be quite dissimilar. This causes a discontinuity from the
value of 0 at the origin to the value of the variogram at extremely small separation
distances

5/31/2015 24
Changing the Sill
• Rescaling the variogram does not affect the kriging
weights
• The estimation variance increases by the same scaling
factor.

Exploratory Data Analysis

5/31/2015 26
Changing the Range
• If the variogram range is less than the distance to any data
point, all samples appear equally far away from the point being
estimated and the estimate is equal to the mean of all the data
• Increasing the range makes the samples appear to be closer,
this will tend to reduce the kriging variance
• Negative weights are as result of the screen effect. To a small
extent, sample 2 is partially screened by sample 1. Weights
assigned to samples that are screened by others are reduced.
• Advantage of negative weights is that estimates larger than the
large sample value or smaller than the smallest sample value
can be produced.
• Disadvantage is that it may produce negative estimates.

Changing the Nugget
• The weights become more similar as the nugget effect
increases.
• The kriging variance increases.
• For a pure nugget effect variogram model (i.e complete
absence of spatial correlation), there is no redundancy
between any of the samples, no sample appears closer
than any other and the estimation procedure is similar to
a variogram model with a very small range.

• When data is sampled irregularly, data must be grouped
to nominal lag values and a lag tolerance to obtain
sufficient pairs for statistics to be meaningful

Variograms Modeling Spatial Correlation
• The shape of the variogram model determines the spatial continuity of the
random function model
• Measures must be customized for each field and each attribute (f,K)
• Depending on the level of diagenesis, the spatial variability may be similar
within similar depositional environments.

Variogram Calculation
• Calculate 3 variograms
– omnidirectional
– anistropic - horizontal
• the horizontal direction of flow in sedimentation
(maximum continuity)
• perpendicular to the direction of the flow in sedimentation
– anisotropic - vertical
• Lags should coincide with data spacing
• The variogram is only valid for a distance up to 1/2 of the field
size => choose number of lags accordingly

Calculating Anisotropy
• To measure anisotropy within a variogram, multiple variograms must be produced
• After selecting a direction, only pairs of points that are obtained in the selected direction
are chosen to produce the variogram
• The variogram with the largest range identifies the major direction of anisotropy
• The longer ranges suggests that the correlation length is largest in that direction
• When the shape of the variogram changes with direction, anisotropy is said to exist

Requirements for a 3D Variogram Model
• The variogram function g(h) is required for all distance and
direction vectors h within the search neighborhood of
subsequent geostatistical calculations
• Introduce geological information regarding anisotropy, trends,
sampling errors in the model of spatial correlation.
• Filter artifacts (tc) of data spacing and data collection practices
to make the variogram represent the true geological variability
• The variogram model g(h) must show positive definiteness for
all distance and direction vectors h

Methodology for Variogram Interpretation and Modeling
• Compute and plot experimental variograms in what are believed to be the
principal directions of continuity based on a-priori geological knowledge
• Place a horizontal line representing the theoretical sill.
• Remove all trends from data.
• Interpretation
• Short-scale variance: the nugget effect
• Intermediate-scale variance: geometric anisotropy.
• Large-scale variance:
• zonal anisotropy
• cyclicity (hole-effect)
• Modeling
• Proceed to variogram modeling by selecting a model type (spherical,
exponential, gaussian…) and correlation ranges for each structure

Variogram Modeling Tips
• Capture the behavior near the origin
• Do not assume that the data are uncorrelated if there are no correlation features in the variogram
• Capture the major features
• Look for bad data points
• Remove extreme samples on the h-Scattergram
• Vertical direction is well informed
• use data from analog field or outcrop
• use typical horizontal to vertical anisotropy ratios
• Horizontal direction is not well informed
• take from analog field or outcrop
• use typical horizontal to vertical anisotropy ratios
• In variogram modeling start with simple models with two structures
• Short scale structure is most important
• nugget due to measurement error should not be modeled
• remember the size of geological modeling cells

Global and Local Estimation
• Do we want a global or local estimate?
• Do we want to estimate only the mean or the complete
distribution of the data values?
• Do we want estimates of point values or larger block
values?

Data Transformation
Why do we need to worry about data transformation?
• Attributes, such as permeability, with highly skewed data distributions present problems in
variogram calculation; the extreme values have a significant impact on the variogram.
• One common transform is to take logarithms,
y = log10 ( z )
perform all statistical analyses on the transformed data, and back transform at the end ®
back transform is sensitive
• Many geostatistical techniques require the data to be transformed to a Gaussian or
normal distribution.
The Gaussian RF model is unique in statistics for its extreme analytical simplicity and for
being the limit distribution of many analytical theorems globally known as “central limit
theorems”
The transform to any distribution (and back) is easily accomplished by the quantile
transform

Coordinate and data transformations
• Reconstruct reservoir bodies
• Transform the data to normal distribution
• Variogram is different in different directions
• Skewed data (permeability) presents a problem in

Declustering
n Data are rarely collected for their statistical “representivity”
¨ Wells are drilled in areas with the greatest probability of high production
rates
¨ Core measurements are taken preferentially from good reservoir quality rock
¨ Characterize areas of high contamination quality rock
n These “data collection” practices should not be changed; they lead to the best
economics and the greatest number of data in portions of the study area that
are the most important
n There is a need, however, to adjust the histograms and summary statistics to be
representative of the entire volume of interest.

Geostatistical simulation “slavishly” honor input statistics


n Best practice:
n understand what are the inputs
n ensure they are defendable – correct scale, representative of area of interest,
account for all available information.
