Schematic outline of the MPS upscaling workflow. (a) 3D training image at high resolution and (b) 3D conditioning data at low resolution. Colors indicate pore connectivity. (c) 2D slice through the TI shown in (a) and (d) through the conditioning data shown in (b). Pores are given in blue. (e) Computer-generated rock slice, with the conditioning data (white) plotted on top of the generated porosity (blue).
