“…The training images can be generated using physical principles, geostatistical algorithms, and regular statistics, and in some rare cases, using empirical methods [25]. According to Tahmasebi [31], various types of TI can be implemented using MPS algorithms, i.e., 2D images of outcrops or pictures of channels from airplanes [46,47], gridded geological models of deposits with a similar geology [48], and conceptual models created using Boolean methods such as object-based [49] and process-based techniques [50]. There are many methodologies for constructing a TI, depending on the type and complexity of the deposit.…”

Large submarine canyons incise most continental margins, but outcrops of comparably sized ancient examples are relatively rare. A preserved cross section of a filled Cretaceous-Paleocene submarine canyon, tens of kilometers wide by hundreds of meters deep and cut into granitic basement of the Salinian block, is exposed in the Santa Lucia Range of central coastal California. The exposure allows an opportunity for the detailed analysis of associated sand-rich deposits analogous to one type of petroleum reservoir. A succession of coarse-grained high-density turbidity current deposits present at Wagon Caves Rock (WCR), a 0.5 km 2 mesa in the Indians Ranch area, is part of a lenticular sandstone body up to 75 m thick and several kilometers wide that accumulated within the confines of the submarine canyon. The facies architecture of the outcrop records canyon axial channel deposition in the middle reaches of the submarine canyon system. The uppermost beds at WCR record the catastrophic failure of the submarine-canyon wall, which was associated with the termination of coarse clastic deposition in the area. The modern Monterey submarine canyon, which incises Salinian block basement identical to that cut by the ancient canyon, provides a close analog for the depositional setting of the canyon deposits of the Indians Ranch area. The architectural analysis provides insight into facies and stratal architecture within a part of the deep-water slope environment that is relatively poorly known due to limited rock data from canyon successions and the inherent difficulty of recognizing large-scale submarinecanyon deposits in outcrop.

Geostatistical modeling is one of the most important tools for building an ensemble of probable realizations in earth science. Among them, multiple-point statistics (MPS) has recently gone under a remarkable progress in handling complex and more realistic phenomenon that can produce large amount of the expected uncertainty and variability. Such progresses are mostly due to the recent increase in more advanced computational techniques/power. In this review chapter, the recent important developments in MPS are thoroughly reviewed. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed as well. Finally, this chapter provides a brief review on the current challenges and paths that might be considered as future research.
