Multipoint Facies Modeling
Steps
When counting all possible events where a cell (green) has channel above and
to the right and background to the left and below there are 7 out of 16
events showing channel probability of 0.44 or 44%.
Multipoint Facies Modeling
Search mask & Search tree
Pattern/search tree describes a probability for every possible event. Size depends
on training image size and search mask. It uses a Multigrid concept for short,
middle and long distance search

Petrel stores the pattern in the Input pane. It is not visible to the user.
Multipoint Facies Modeling
Training Image & Pattern
The Multipoint facies simulation uses the pattern as the only mandatory input.
Additionally one can use:
Regions
Patterns
Scaling
Rotation
