Reservoir characterization needs the integration of various data, and especially dynamic information such as production or 4D seismic data through history matching. This paper presents a local domain parameterization technique to update geostatistical realizations for assisted history matching. This technique allows us to change locally geostatistical realizations through the variation of geometrical domains whose geometry and size can be easily controlled and parameterized.
