Abstract
This paper presents an innovative methodology designed to simulate 3D stochastic images of the morphology of fluvial sand channel reservoirs. This methodology is successfully tested for a hypothetical channel sand reservoir where some of the conditioning data were derived from a Middle Eastern reservoir of this type. Results are discussed with particular regard to the images of local orientations and analysis of the local and global uncertainties of the model.
