Geostatistics - SP010
Introduction to Applied Geostatistics
Course Summary
This course introduces geoscientists, engineers, and data scientists to the applied geostatistical methods that are an essential underpinning of effective modern reservoir characterization and modelling. It covers the practical principles and workflows used in preparation for building subsurface models using geostatistical interpolation and simulation methods. Variograms, kriging, and conditional simulation are explained from their basics and illustrated in their application to reservoir modelling.
