Popis: Multiple-point geostatistics (MPS) has more advantages than two-point geostatistics in reproducing the continuity of geobodies in subsurface reservoir modeling. For fluvial reservoir modeling, the more continuous a channel, the more consistent it is with geological knowledge in general, and fluvial continuity is also of paramount importance when simulating fluid flow. Based on the pixel-based MPS algorithm Snesim, this study proposes a method that utilizes multiple search trees (MSTs) to enhance simulation continuity in 2D fluvial reservoir modeling. The objective of the MST method is to capture complete data events from a training image (TI), which aims to achieve enhanced continuity in fluvial reservoir sublayer modeling. By resorting to search neighborhoods based on their proximity to the central node of the data template, multiple data templates that correspond to the MSTs will be generated. Here, four data templates were generated by arranging the relative search neighborhood coordinates in ascending and descending order with respect to the central node. Parallel computing was tried for the construction of the search trees. This work calculated the conditional probability distribution function (CPDF) of the simulating nodes by averaging the CPDFs derived from the MSTs, and double retrieval was employed to filter out the search trees that possessed an inaccurate local CPDF for the simulating nodes. In addition, the connected component labeling (CCL) method was introduced to evaluate the simulation continuity in MPS. The results indicated that the MST method can enhance the simulation continuity of the Snesim algorithm by reproducing the fine connectivity of channel facies in 2D fluvial reservoir modeling.
