Prospect assessment and play chance mapping tools

摘要

Prospect assessment and play chance mapping tools are provided. For assessing potential resources, example systems provide dynamically linked chance maps, transformed in real time from geological properties. Input geological maps or other data are dynamically linked to resulting chance maps, so that changes in the input maps automatically update the chance map in real time. Users can generate a custom risk matrix dynamically linking geological maps with chance maps via interface tools, dropping maps directly into the matrix. A transform may programmatically convert the geologic domain to the chance domain. The user can navigate input maps, select areas of interest, and drag-and-drop geologic properties into an uncertainty engine and distribution builder for uncertainty assessment based on geologic reality. A merge tool can programmatically unify multiple geological interpretations of a prospect. The merge tool outputs a single chance of success value for multiple geologic property values at each grid node.

主权项

1. A computer-executable method performed by a computer system, the method comprising:
dynamically linking a geologic data source to a chance map via a transform; updating the chance map in real time when a change occurs in the data source; and generating an uncertainty assessment of one or more parameters of the chance map in real time based on data from the geologic data source, wherein generating the uncertainty assessment comprises determining an uncertainty of the one or more parameters based on a distribution of property values in at least a portion of the geologic data source.
