Multiscale modeling of reservoir systems using geostatistical methods by Chihi, Hayet, Hammami, Mohamed Amin, Mezni, Imen, Belayouni, Habib, Ben Mammou, Abdallah

“…In this paper, we propose a multiscale approach based on combined geological–geophysical investigations, geostatistics, and 3D geological modeling to build a structural model of faulted-reservoir systems, at regional and local scales within the Jeffara basin, southeast Tunisia.The regional modeling procedure is calibrated by outcrops, a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), boreholes, and well data logs. The geological processing, itself, is used as a tool to extend the database from a variety of documents such as geological maps, geological cross-sections, outcrop descriptions, and especially the wealthy geological knowledge. …”
