<p>A method for mapping remaining hydrocarbon resources in a subsurface reservoir, includes generating a pressure depletion map (10) of the subsurface reservoir based on a pressure depletion dataset representing a pressure change in at least one well over a time interval, obtaining a hydrocarbon pore thickness map of the subsurface reservoir based on a hydrocarbon pore thickness dataset representing hydrocarbon pore thickness substantially at a beginning of the time interval, using the pressure depletion map and the hydrocarbon pore thickness map, generating a remaining resource map (12) of the subsurface reservoir, for each of a plurality of infill wells located in the subsurface reservoir and operated during a portion of the time interval, determining an estimated ultimate recovery value (14), using each estimated ultimate recovery value with data from the remaining resource map for the locations of the infill wells to determine a correlation (16), and using the correlations and the remaining resource map, evaluating a location for a proposed infill well (18).</p> |
