Uncertainty Analysis and Reservoir Modeling

Developing and Managing Assets in an Uncertain World

About

Uncertainty Analysis and Reservoir Modeling: Developing and Managing Assets in an Uncertain World presents a comprehensive survey of cutting-edge approaches used by industry to quantify the uncertainty in both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. Balanced between case histories and theory, the chapters in this volume equip experienced practitioners and those just entering the field with the theory, workflows and case history examples needed to make better reservoir management decisions in the uncertain world of the modern oil and gas field.
