  • Patent number: 7502771
    Abstract: A method of generating a decision tree for a seismic to simulation workflow, including: identifying a plurality of elements of the seismic to simulation workflow; receiving a plurality of modeling scenarios for each of the plurality of elements, where each of the plurality of modeling scenarios is associated with a realization of the seismic to simulation workflow; receiving a plurality of probabilities for the plurality of modeling scenarios; and generating a decision tree comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of branches in response to said plurality of modeling scenarios, where each level of the decision tree is associated with one of the plurality of elements, where the plurality of nodes are associated with the plurality of modeling scenarios, and where the plurality of branches are based on the plurality of probabilities.
