Summary
Characterization of reservoir properties, e.g., hydraulic conductivity, is of essential importance in hydrogeology, such as groundwater resources managementand subsurface contaminant Wu et al. remediation. Moreover, spatial heterogeneities of reservoir properties are present from pore to reservoir scale, and understanding the heterogeneity effects on fluid flow is critical (Doughty and Pruess, 2004; Jayne et al., 2019).
