A method for calculating connected productive regions (“geobodies”) in a hydrocarbon reservoir uses an algorithm which visits a cell in a geological model of the reservoir, assigning a geobody identifier if the cell possesses certain threshold characteristics and adding the connected neighbors of each visited cell to a data queue or stack. The data queue is emptied cell by cell, each cell popped out of the queue being assigned the same geobody identifier value and having its own connected neighbors added to the queue. Cells are popped out until the queue is empty and then another cell in the model which has not yet been visited is selected. The process continues until all cells have been visited. Cells may also be pre-identified as being part of a well; in this case the algorithm will also establish well connectivity.
