Permeability estimation in three dimensions commonly suffers from inadequate horizontal data sampling. This uncertainty about spatial correlation of permeability is transferred into uncertainty in reservoir performance forecasting. A stepwise procedure to establish horizontal variograms for numerical geological modeling is developed based on the distinction between three different types of anisotropy.
