Abstract
To model hydrocarbon reservoirs more accurately, models of a geological volume using a three dimensional grid of cells populated with data from seismic studies are augmented by providing fine-grained stochastic models of the distribution of relays in fault zones and modelling the flow of hydrocarbons taking account the modelled relays.
