Multivariate Geostatistical Simulation of Full Permeability Tensors on Unstructured Grids

Unstructured grids are being used more frequently in reservoir modeling; however, the tools for populating them are not fully developed. This work will introduce methods of geostatistical simulation on unstructured grids specifically for full permeability tensors. Modeling and drawing samples from a multivariate distribution will be required. There will be no assumptions of normality for this distribution.
