Connectivity of channelized reservoirs: a modelling approach

DK Larue, J Hovadik - Petroleum Geoscience, 2006 - earthdoc.org
Connectivity represents one of the fundamental properties of a reservoir that directly affects
recovery. If a portion of the reservoir is not connected to a well, it cannot be drained …

3D CNN-PCA: A deep-learning-based parameterization for complex geomodels

Y Liu, LJ Durlofsky - Computers & Geosciences, 2021 - Elsevier
Geological parameterization enables the representation of geomodels in terms of a
relatively small set of variables. Parameterization is therefore very useful in the context of …
