A system, method and program product for evaluating a prospect. The method includes: receiving prospect information regarding a prospect for natural resource exploration; extracting a set of characteristics based on the prospect information; identifying a set of similar prospects and a set of prospect exploration results, based on the set of characteristics; receiving a success estimate for the prospect; validating the success estimate based on the set of characteristics, the set of similar prospects, and the set of prospect exploration results to determine inconsistencies in the success estimate; and approving the success estimate or receiving an updated success estimate, based on the inconsistencies in the success estimate.

Assisting prospect evaluation in oil and gas exploration

A system, method and computer program product for assessing field development plans selected based on a stochastic response surface, preferably, for hydrocarbon reservoir production. Assessment begins by assessing uncertainty associated with multiple decision variable configurations. A subset of realizations is selected. An individual surrogate is constructed for each subset realization. A reduced representative realization subset is determined, where the reduced subset is representative of the behavior/performance of all realizations of decision variable configurations.

Field development plan selection system, method and program product

A plurality of development scenarios is determined. At least a first well is drilled at a first location and trajectory that are common to the plurality of development scenarios. A result of the at least one first well is assessed. A first subset of development scenarios is selected from the plurality of development scenarios based at least on the result of the first well. A first sequence of subsequent wells, including at least one well, are drilled at a first sequence of subsequent locations and trajectories that are common to the first subset of development scenarios.

Adaptive resource reservoir development

A system, method and computer program product for generating scenarios of hydrocarbon reservoirs based on limited amount of information on a target hydrocarbon reservoir, and more particularly to automatically supplying missing parameters and uncertainty associated with each supplied parameter allowing to valuating the target hydrocarbon reservoir.

Generating hydrocarbon reservoir scenarios from limited target hydrocarbon reservoir information

A population comparison system, method and a computer program product therefor. A stored list of population members, e.g., hydrocarbon reservoirs, characteristics and analogous members is partitioned into lists for each member. A weighting system automatically uses the partitions to determine a weight set (w*) for population member characteristic and a similarity function. The weighting system may include an objective model that iteratively, blindly identifies analogous members for each population member until the identified analogous members match the listed analogous members. An analogous member selector uses the weights set (w*) and similarity function to automatically select analogous listed members for each new population member.

A weather forecast system, method of forecasting weather and a computer program product therefor. A forecasting computer applies a grid to a forecast area and provides a weather forecast for each grid cell. Population movement sensors sense population movement in the area. A swarm detector detects patterns in area population movement that indicate swarm activity, from which the swarm detector predicts swarm patterns. A planning module receives area weather forecasts and swarm patterns, and provides swarm path indications to the forecasting system for adjusting the grid applied to the forecast area.
