| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
Correlations are commonly observed among the geological variables used in petroleum resource assessment, but the degree of correlation may vary from play to
play, reflecting the interplay of the geological processes governing hydrocarbon occurrence in a basin. Petroleum resource assessment using a probabilistic volumetric method involves the problem of variable interdependencies at different levels, from
volumetric calculation of a prospect potential to resource integration at a basin scale. Ignoring the interdependencies may lead to a biased resource estimation and result in an under-estimation of the uncertainty range. In this paper, we discuss a
variety of variable interdependencies commonly involved in a petroleum resource assessment of a basin through examples from the Beaufort and Mackenzie Basin (BMB) in Arctic Canada. |
