Risk & Uncertainty
Introduction to Petroleum Engineering
Year 2012 - 2013
Risk is the probability that a parameter of interest fails to
work at theminimum level expected.
Uncertainty is the variation in or the range of possible
outcomes.
The probability of a discovery is defined as the product of the
following majorprobability factors:
Reservoir
Trap & seal formation
Generation, migration and accumulation of hydrocarbon
Retention of hydrocarbons after accumulation
Any prospect with less than 10% probability is a very risky
prospect.
During exploration phase there is a big uncertainty regarding
the size of anypossible discovery.
