Covariance localisation
Covariance matrix estimated from the ensemble is modified in order to make it decreasing at some distance from the observation point
Multiplied by 1 within some zone and by 0 outside or multiplied by some coefficients derived, for example from streamline sensitivities
Distance based localisation Houtekamer and Mitchell 1998, Hamill et al 2001, Skjervheim et al 2006, … Truncation of the covariance for production data may not be physically based since
the well influence zone may have non trivial shape
Streamline based localisation Aroyyo-Negrete et al 2006, Devegowda et al 2007 Covariance is truncated with respect to the flow path and/or streamline based
sensitivities

SL based localisation for production data
Limit covariance to the zone that has been swept by the produced liquid
Reverse problem: if a producer had been an injector the swept zone would be limited by a front of the injected liquid
Propagation of the liquid front along streamlines can be described in terms of Time Of Flight
To find the localisation zone: Trace the streamlines based on the velocity field Calculate time of flight Limit drainage and injection zones accordingly to the current model time

SL based localisation
Trace streamline -> Select a zone -> Update within the zone

Pressure TOF
Asymptotic solution to the pressure diffusivity equation Kulkarni, Datta-Gupta and Vasco, 2000
is the velocity of the pressure front
Pressure Time Of Flight
Pressure TOF is related to the observed time as
in 2D and in 3D
Track the pressure front and set covariance to 0 outside the influence zone

Summary
Significant covariance disturbance happens outside well influence zone
Streamline based covariance localisation helps to reduce spurious correlation and decrease non-data based perturbation of the model parameters
It’s not necessary to use a SL simulator when applying a SL based covariance localisation
SL based localisation does not necessarily improve the match;although it’s case dependant
Initial realisations are less modified when localisation is used
