Abstract
The objective of the pilot point method is to constrain geostatistical realizations to dynamic data. The basic principle of the method is to introduce control points to makelocal modifications in the reservoir model using conditional geostatistical techniques. The pilot point values are inversion parameters that are updated in an optimization process. The main drawback of the method is the lack of criteria for choosing the location of the pilot points.
