Plurigaussian Simulations in Geosciences
Simulation is the fastest developing branch of geostatistics and simulating facies inside reservoirs and orebodies is the most exciting part of this. Several methods have been developed to do this (sequential indicator simulations, Boolean simulations, Ma

Preface
Although many papers have presented different aspects of truncated gaussian and plurigaussian simulations, no single work gives a comprehensive view of the theory and practical applications of this new and interesting geostatistical simulation method. Our aim in writing the book has been to encourage readers to test this method of simulating the geometry of reservoirs and ore-bodies for themselves. That is why we wrote a suite of programs called Pluridemo to demonstrate how the method works. Initially this material was developed as the notes for short courses on plurigaussian simulations. The first such course was given in Fontainebleau in September 1998. Others have been given at Petrobras training centre in Rio de Janeiro in 1999 and at the IAMG annual conference in Trondheim in 1999. The original impetus for developing the truncated gaussian method came from Georges Matheron in response to a request from the Institut Franc¸ais de Pe´trole, in particular from Lucien Montade
