Stochastic Rock Physics Model Overview
The QI tab hosts the Stochastic Rock Physics Model window, which is a stochastic interface modelling tool. Stochastic Rock Physics Model replaces the legacy Distill module and integrates seamlessly and interactively with the Insight crossplots and lithofluid workflows.
Using end-member depth-dependent trends as input, multiple lithology and fluid combinations can be created and stochastically forward-modelled. The ability to discriminate between different combinations and the variation in response as a function of depth and other variables, including reservoir quality and fluid saturation, can quickly be assessed using Stochastic Rock Physics Model.
Available in: Lithofluids module.
Prerequisites
End-member trends
Stochastic Rock Physics Model requires end-member trends to be loaded in the session.
End-member trends can be imported from files generated by DUG Rock or by other software with extensions *.trend, *.txt, *.prn or *.asc. For more information on trend files, refer to Using Rock-Physics Trends.
Adding a Stochastic Rock Physics Model
- In the Control Panel, open the QI tab.
- At the tab header, click on the Add icon and select Add Stochastic Rock Physics Model.
- Type a new name for the process, and click OK. The Stochastic Rock Physics Model window will now be displayed. See Using the Stochastic Rock Physics Model for a description of all the tabs in the window.
