pdf Сonvergent uncertainty and possible solutions
The paper examines the nature of uncertainty in models of geological objects during regional studies and the preparation of objects for exploration drilling for oil and gas. It is shown that uncertainty has different origins, such as insufficient knowledge, variability in the characteristics of the geological objects being studied, and convergence, which refers to the occurrence of similar features resulting from different processes. The paper also discusses methods for overcoming convergence uncertainty during geological oil and gas exploration activity.

Keywords: convergent uncertainty, geological object model, oil and gas exploration activity.
