Petroleum Geostatistics

For reservoir evaluation, general reservoir information and reservoir -speciic observations are available. The importance of establishing a prior model for the reservoir characteristics which reeects the overall uncertainty is emphasized. Moreover, likelihood functions which represent the data collection procedures are formally deened. The integration of the information is done in a Bayesian framework. The requirement that sampling from the posterior must be possible put serious constraints on the model formulation. These constraints are thoroughly discussed.
