Scenario: An oil exploration company has collected data on the porosity of a reservoir at four different locations (A, B, C, and D). They want to estimate the porosity at an unknown location (E) within the reservoir using interpolation.
Data:
| Location | Porosity (%) | |---|---| | A | 15 | | B | 20 | | C | 18 | | D | 22 |
Task:
Exercice Correction:
1. **Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) Interpolation** is a suitable choice for this scenario. This method considers the distance between the unknown location (E) and the known data points (A, B, C, and D), giving more weight to closer points. This is appropriate as porosity is likely to be more similar to nearby locations. 2. To estimate porosity at E, we need the coordinates of all locations. Let's assume: * A (0, 0) * B (1, 0) * C (0, 1) * D (1, 1) * E (0.5, 0.5) Now, calculate the distances between E and each known location. Then, apply the IDW formula: Porosity(E) = Σ(Porosity(i) * Weight(i)) / Σ(Weight(i)) Where Weight(i) = 1 / (Distance(E, i))^2 For example: Distance(E, A) = √(0.5² + 0.5²) = 0.707 Weight(A) = 1 / (0.707)² = 2 You would calculate similar weights for B, C, and D and then plug the values into the IDW formula to get the estimated porosity at E. 3. **Limitations:** * **Spatial Correlation:** IDW assumes that porosity is directly related to distance, which might not always be accurate. * **Data Quality:** The accuracy of the estimation depends on the quality and distribution of the available data. If the known data points are not representative of the overall reservoir, the estimation might be inaccurate. * **Extrapolation:** IDW should not be used to estimate porosity outside the area covered by the known data points as it might lead to inaccurate results.
