The 1st period 1999-2006 “Begining”
Recognizing of possible geomathematical
applications
in the analyses of HC reservoirs
in the Croatian part of the Pannonian Basin
System.
The very first variogram analyses in CPBS (2002-2003)
Set of vertical variograms in the Bjelovar Subdepression
Porosity behaviour is analysed in vertical dimension regarding potential reservoir units of Mosti,
Poljana and Pepelana lithostratigraphic members (Badenian, Pannonian, Pontian stages).
The analytical tool were variograms.
In the Badenian the largest corrected porosity and range values are calculated on the GalovacPavljani field (7.99 % and 0.64 m) for the Mosti member.
Pannonian sandstones are characterised very often by poor permeable or impermeable
sediments. The highest corrected values are again calculated on the Galovac-Pavljani field (23.3
% and 0.57 m), and the lowest very close on the Velika Ciglena (8.95 % and 0.21 m).
Pontian sandstones have more uniform lithology than Poljana sandstones. The most favourable
reservoir properties are described in the Šandrovac field, where are documented generally the
highest corrected values of 29.99 % and 0.95 m.

The very first variogram analyses in CPBS (2003)
Different interpolator algorithms
Results have been compared of the porosity evaluation for:
-Inverse Distance Weighting,
-Ordinary Kriging and
-Collocated Cokriging.
The comparison had been made in the:
-Beničanci field,
-Stari Gradac-Barcs Nyugat field.
The accuracy is determined by:
-the geological evaluation of the isoporosity line shapes and
-calculation of the mean square error (MSE).
The best solution was acquired by the Collocated Cokriging method.
Porosity distribution Beničanci field (IDW
method). Mean square
error was MSE=2.778

Inverse Distance Weighting
Moving Average
Ordinary Kriging
Nearest Neighbourhood
Numerical estimation of maps is performed using a cross validation equation. The following
values were obtained for the different methods (starting with the lowest error):
1. Kriging 366.93 (exact interpolator)
2. Moving average 369.26 (simple matrix smoothing)
3. Inverse distance weighting 371.97 (exact interpolator)
4. Nearest neighbourhood 389.00 (zonal assignment)
1. Differences are relatively small, but the minimum is the kriging results.
2. It is partly surprising that errors obtained by the moving average and nearest
neighbourhood were not higher, especially when comparing by map graphics.
3. It is probably a result of the relatively limited input dataset, which can not reflect the true
advantage of using exact interpolators.

Neural analysis of e-logs
Well log representing the interval of the 1st sandstone “series”
saturated with oil
When determining the lithological component in wells Klo–A and Klo–B with RBF and
MLP neural networks, achieved is excellent correspondence between true and predicted
values.
Prediction of hydrocarbon saturation in well Klo–B with a neural network trained in well
Klo–A gave excellent correspondence between true and predicted values.
Results show the great potential of neural networks’ application in petroleum geology
research, where they could be used to quickly acquire results from well logs, to obtain
vertical and lateral correlation of such logs, and to solve other petroleum geology
problems.
The Ivanić Field (Sava Depression)
example of the large input dataset
The applicability of kriging interpolation is tested by averages of porosity dataset of 82 values.
Original porosity values are calculated from e-logs for sandstone reservoirs of the Pannonian
age. It is saturated with oil.

The correlation between seismic amplitude and reservoir
porosity (2008)
The analysed reservoir (breccia)
The physical meaning of seismic amplitude
The seismic wave reflection process occurs at boundaries between rock layers with different
acoustic impedances (products of seismic velocities and densities).
The reflectivity function on boundary is defined with the amplitude ratio of input and output
seismic waves, R.
In the “soft” materials (low acoustic impedance, lower density and greater porosity) the
seismic wave arrival causes longer particle movements and a little pressure increase.
In the “hard” rocks (higher acoustic impedance, lower porosity and greater density) is the shorter
particle movements and pressure increase.
The reflected seismic wave amplitude changes are a good indicator for elastic properties.
Correlation between amplitude and porosity
3D seismic data were interpreted on a grid of 50 x 50 nodes. Each contained the average of
absolute amplitude, instantaneous frequency, instantaneous phase, reflection strength, the
highest amplitude and RMS amplitude (“Root Mean Square”).
Lately, the 14 well locations had mean porosities.
Correlation could be done for 14 pairs between attributes and porosity values. This number of 14
inputs was not large enough to approximate these datasets by normal (Gaussian) curve,
what is a precondition for Pearson’s correlation coefficient calculation.
This encouraged the use of non-parametric Spearman ranking correlation coefficient, which
used median value instead of mean and standard deviation:
The highest correlation was reached between porosity and reflection strength values, which are
ranked in Table 1.
Spearman rank correlation was r’=-0.64
The reflection strength being accepted as a secondary variable.

Linearity and Lagrange Linear Multiplicator in the Equations of Ordinary Kriging
The equations of Simple and Ordinary Kriging are compared to outline their differences in the
estimation procedure. Emphasis is given to the Lagrange multiplicator as a variable that allows
the minimization of variance in Ordinary Kriging.
A detailed presentation of equation sets provides a better understanding of the Simple and
Ordinary Kriging algorithms for geological engineers, as the two most-used geostatistical
techniques (included Indicator Kriging as the third).
The conclusion includes proposals for the determination of the Lagrange multiplicator value
in any Ordinary Kriging equation.

Cokriging in the Molve Field (2009)
The maximal correlation was calculated between
porosity and reflection strength. Correlation
significance was checked using t-test. Calculated
value is t=2.22, and tcritical=1.76 (for =5%).
So, the calculated correlation is statistically
significant.
The secondary variable is sampled at much more
grid nodes than primary (2 500 vs. 16 nodes). It is
why anisotropic experimental variogram is modelled
from secondary variable data. This model is defined
by:
- Azimuth of primary axis 120º;
- Lag-spacing about 350 m;
- Primary range 4 000 m (spherical theoretical
model without nugget);
- Secondary range 2 900 m (spherical theoretical
model without nugget).

Resulting probability maps for cutoffs 14, 18,

1. Most of the kriging techniques are linear, but some of them are not. In fact, these are linear
techniques applied on some non-linear transformation of the data.
2. Indicator transformation presented in analysis is one of such non-linear transformation and
Indicator Kriging is non-linear technique as well.
3. Such application in this analysis resulted in indicator variograms for different porosity cutoffs
and in set of probability maps for such cutoffs.
4. Using of these maps revealed the areal extension of porosity probability below defined cutoff.

Thickness distribution (left, scale 0-25 m), porosity (middle, 0-25%), and depth (right, 600-1100 m)
hard data
In deterministic solution (that is also “zero” realization for simulation) the following values are
always known:
a) Mean value, variance (µ, σ2);
b) Kriging variance (σ2);
c) The interval allowed for simulated values (determined from the relationship between the mean
and the variance);
d) If the allowed interval encompasses three standard deviations (±3σ) around a mean (µ) each
cell, then 99% of all possible solutions are included.
When all previous values are known and the type of simulation is defined, then the values of all
model “blank” cells can be estimated using the SGS method.

Conclusions
Practical development of geostatistics can be done in several ways.
In presented examples it can be easily followed through simple three phases:
1. The simple and comprehensive application of variogram analysis (modelling);
2. The first using of different, usual (linear) kriging techniques (Simple and Ordinary Kriging);
3. The next “jump” on “non-linear” Indicator Kriging;
4. Theoretical analysis of kriging equations – i.e. the “basic” techniques Simple and Ordinary K.;
5. The using of simulation, mostly the simplest – Sequential Gaussian Simulations;
6. Combination of Indicator Kriging and (Sequential) Indicator Simulations and mutual
interpretation;
7. Using of simulation for obtaining new (hopefully) more descriptive histograms.
Selection of geological variable:
1. Theoretically it can be any reservoir variable;
2. Preferable is selection of variable with (theoretically) normal distribution (like porosity) or lognormal (permeability, but rarely).
Regarding other part of geomathematics:
1. The “clasicall” descriptive statistics or t-test or F-test can be useful in introductory analysis of
raw data and reveal some distribution characteristics or data group connections;
2. The application of neural networks is different tool that can be connected with geostatistics
only occasionally or locally, e.g., in some mapping application with several algorithms or
Neural Kriging;
3. The neural algorithms are proven good tool for vertical analysis of e-logs.
