Prospect Risking - Scheme 4

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Scheme 4 has three categories of play risk: Reservoir, Seal and Source; and three of prospect specific risk: Trap, Reservoir and Migration. There are two additional risks: Model risk and Phase risk.

The overall chance of success is the eight chances multiplied together:

Overall Prospect Chance = P100 = P(play) x P(prospect specific) x P(model) x P(phase)

P(play) = P(reservoir) x P(seal) x P(source)

P(prospect specific) = P(trap) x P(reservoir) x P(migration)

 

 

Risking Scheme 4

Considerations

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

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.

Reservoir

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

Migration
