Probable andd Possibble Reserves: Extrapolation Beyond History

Probale reserves are one based additional geological and examering providence that supports thee recovery is more likely than not. Here production history plays an indirect but important role. For example, if a well in a channel sand has delivered consistent rates while a nexable well in a different facies produced poorly, thee historical performance thee mapping of probable volumes to simimisilaar channel sands in undrilled ares.

For possible reserves, the link to production history is even more tenuous. These estimates often rely on analogous fields or conceptual models of untested convestior kompartments.

The key is to document how tym analogu was selected and which comparason is valid in terms of rock quality, fluid, inquivies, and diffivies.

Common Pitfalls in Using Production History for Reserves
