Abstract
Interpolation is procedure that depends on spatial and/or statistical properties of analysed variable(s). It is special challenging task for data that included low number of samples, like dataset with less than 20 data. This problem is especially emphasized in the subsurface geological mapping, i.e. in the cases where data are taken solely from wells. Successful solutions of such mapping problems ask for knowledge about interpolation methods designed primarily for small datasets and dataset itself. Here are compared two methods, namely Inverse Distance Weighting and Modified Shepard’s Method, applied for three variables (porosity, permeability, thickness) measured in the Neogene sandstone hydrocarbon reservoirs (Northern Croatia). The results showed that pure cross-validation is not enough condition for appropriate map selection, but also geometrical features need to be considered, for datasets with less than 20 points.
