Abstract
3D visualization of flow simulation results is valuable in addressing field development issues such as appropriate<br>placement of infill wells. However, integration of static and dynamic uncertainty in reservoir management decisions<br>often lacks proper visualization methods - typically, alternative reservoir models are considered one after another,<br>or, at best, local averages and "uncertainty maps" of hydrocarbon indicators or productivity indexes are viewed<br>successively. Whereas uncertainty can dramatically impact reservoir performance, it is therefore often disregarded or<br>misestimated during the decision making process.
