Non-Parametric Bayesian Networks (NPBNs) versus Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) in Reservoir Simulation with non-Gaussian Measurement Noise

Lately, the objective of reservoir engineering is to optimize hydrocarbon recovery from a reservoir. To achieve that goal, a good knowledge of the subsurface properties is crucial. The author is concerned with estimating one of the properties of the field: the permeability of a reservoir. To characterize the fluid flow, a two phase (oil-water)...
