Abstract
Stochastic interpolation methods for generating input for reservoir simulations require accurate models for spatial variability. New models based on fractional Levy motion, a generalization of fractional Brownian motion, have strong empirical support. Stochastic interpolations based on the Levy model have a higher degree of spatial variability compared to Gaussian fractals. In two-dimensional waterflood simulations, the breakthrough curves for the Levy interpolation method are better clustered around predicted production behavior based directly on outcrop data.
