Abstract

A method and system for conciliating hydrocarbon reservoir model data. In one implementation, a set of local permeability values of a reservoir and an apparent permeability value of the reservoir are provided. A power value is numerically calculated from a mean power formula that relates the apparent permeability value of the reservoir to the local permeability values of the set via the power. The calculated power value is compared with a reference value. Depending on the outcome of the comparison, the set of local permeability values is modified.
