Prospect Risking - Scheme 2

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Scheme 2 has a single value for Play chance. The Prospect Specific chance is divided into three sections: Reservoir, Trap and Source. Each of these elements is described by Presence and Effectiveness and you assign a probability to each. This is a multiplicative scheme: the chance elements are multiplied together.

You can also enter an chance modifier, presumably based on some observed amplitude anomaly or lack of it.

The overall chance of success is the play chance and the three prospect specific chances multiplied together, plus the amplitude modifier, if any.

Considerations

You should consider the following when mulling over the various risk elements:

Reservoir

Seismic AI, seismic AVO, DHI, field analogues, offset wells, petrophysics, etc.

Trap

Correct horizon identification(s), depth conversion, spill point, correct construction of appropriate top/base reservoir depth maps from mapped seismic horizon(s), veracity and structural conformance of DHI.
