Hi Younes,

some brief ideas below.

am interested in this idea. Since any decreasing in data has dramatically positive effects on computation cost (time). Is anyone aware of this methodology has been published somewhere?

Vesper has a built in sub-sampling algorithm and can do local variogram computation as well as local kriging. Not sure about 3D.
http://www.usyd.edu.au/agriculture/acpa/software/vesper.shtml

Gstat stand-alone has the options "every = value" for every nth selection of regular sampling records and "prob = value" for random sampling.
(www.gstat.org -> see manual)

Maybe have also a look to the sp package in R (http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net). See function spsample().

Sampling algorithms for sampling designs are explained in e.g.
de Gruijter,J., Brus,D., Bierkens,M., Knotters,M. 2006. Sampling for natural ressource monitoring. Springer.
