Accurate estimation of subsurface geological parameters, e.g. permeability, is essential for the oil industry. This is done by combining observations of pressure with a mathematical model using data assimilation. We show that computationally affordable ensemble transform data assimilation methods are suitable for the parameter estimation. For a small number of uncertain parameters, ensemble transform particle filter performs comparably to ensemble transform Kalman filter in terms of the mean estimation. For a large number of uncertain parameters, ensemble transform particle filter performs comparably to ensemble transform Kalman filter only when either localization or the leading modes are used."
