pdf Probabilistic oil and gas resource assessment for subsurface areas taking into account the dependence of geological risks of aggregated local objects by area and section
The article discusses the methods for obtaining a probabilistic estimate of oil and gas resources for subsurface areas based on summing up probabilistic estimation of local objects (traps) resources, taking into account the dependence of their geological risks. The formalization of the dependence of geological risks of traps was carried out by separating and probabilistic description of the geological factors, leading to the formation of oil and gas deposits, into common areas for all traps and local ones that operate within individual local objects. Two methods are proposed and analyzed: analytical method and Monte Carlo method. The identity of the results of both methods is confirmed by the given conditional example.
The statistical interpretation of the probabilistic assessment of the site resources is given which allowed us to introduce the concept of “geological risk” for the site and thus to determine two types of resource estimates – taking into account the geological risk, and excluding geological risk. The geological conditions for the practical application of the proposed methods are defined.

Keywords: probabilistic oil and gas resource estimates; dependence of geological risks of local objects; summation of probabilistic estimates of resources of local objects, taking into account their geological risks.
