Abstract:
1. A computerized method of generating a decision tree for a seismic to simulation workflow, comprising: identifying a plurality of elements of the seismic to simulation workflow; receiving a plurality of modeling scenarios for each of the plurality of elements, wherein plurality of modeling-scenarios are associated with a plurality of realizations of the seismic to simulation workflow; receiving a plurality of probabilities for the plurality of modeling scenarios; generating a decision tree comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of branches in response to said plurality of modeling scenarios, wherein each level of the decision tree is associated with one of the plurality of elements, wherein the plurality of nodes are associated with the plurality of modeling scenarios, and wherein the plurality of branches arc based on the plurality of probabilities; selecting, from the decision tree, a realization of the plurality of realizations; and running the seismic to simulation workflow based on the realization to eliminate low profitability options of a reservoir.
