Abstract

The heterogeneity of hydrofacies is represented as spatial variability on different scales, and it has a significant impact on the behavior of groundwater flow and pollutant transport. However, effectively characterizing hydrofacies heterogeneity on different scales remains one of the most challenging problems in hydrogeology. In this study, an upscaling hydrofacies simulation (UHS) framework is proposed by integrating the upscaling borehole generalization (UBG) approach and transition probability geostatistics (TPG). A new UBG approach for generating virtual boreholes with equivalent hydrofacies information based on relatively high-density borehole lithological data is proposed, and the TPG is used to delineate the multiscale facies distribution. The results show that the UBG approach can significantly reduce borehole data volume while retaining the key equivalent hydrofacies information on a coarser scale. The UHS method can well characterize the overall distribution of equivalent hydrofacies on coarser scales, with the minor-component hydrofacies underestimated and the major-component hydrofacies overestimated to a lesser extent, and more equivalent facies appearing in strong heterogeneous areas. These results demonstrate that the UHS method can provide valuable capacity insights and advantages in characterizing hydrofacies heterogeneity on different scales using such high-density borehole lithological data.
