Abstract
The method of the invention is applicable to oil production to obtain the impact of technical and economic uncertainties on the economic profitability of a reservoir and/or to optimize the position of a new well in order to meet a development strategy. The invention includes in stage 1, uncertain technical parameters having an influence on the reservoir production are selected; in stage 2, an analytic model expressing the reservoir production in the course of time is determined as a function of the parameters selected in stage 1, from production values obtained by means of a flow simulator; and in stage 3, a model expressing the economic profitability of the reservoir is determined as a function of the technical and economic parameters, from the analytic model determined in stage 2.
