Abstract
This review paper aims to outline the role of stochastic algorithms in building geologically-realistic, 3D fluvial reservoir models and highlight the success of these developments with case studies from both producing fields and ancient outcrop analogue studies. Finally, the paper will allude to possible improvements in stochastic fluvial modelling and future directions in the modelling of fluvial petroleum reservoirs. These include the use of physical or process-based models, high-resolution near wellbore models, and multi-point statistics, that allow for more realistic representations of heterogeneities of fluvial deposits at a variety of scales and by a variety of methods.
