AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION OF FORWARD DEPOSITIONAL MODELS

The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a method for geological modeling includes receiving a forward depositional model, determining a Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) stratigraphic model based on the projected forward depositional model, performing forward depositional modeling, transform the forward depositional model from time domain to stratigraphic-depth domain, determining one or more pseudo-wells based on the transformed model, determining a mismatch value based on the transformed forward depositional model and a collection of simulated physical value, and determining a kriging surrogate model based on the LHS stratigraphic model and the mismatch value.
