Petroleum Resource Assessment
• Estimation of the total volume of recoverable Hydrocarbons, discovered and undiscovered, in a given area
• The chance of finding and producing the hydrocarbons economically
CNPA February 2005CNPA February 2005
3
Government use of Resource Assessment
• Establish a prudent Energy Policy
• Evaluate the Economic and Environmental impacts
• Attract Investments
CNPA February 2005CNPA February 2005
4
The Industry use of Resource Assessment
• Develop Exploration Strategies• Justify Exploration Expenditures• Identify areas for acquisition• Quantify Risk relative to Reward• Provide basis for Economic Analysis• Estimate future needs for capital
CNPA February 2005CNPA February 2005
5
Assessment Methods• Delphi (up to 1960)
– Statements from geological oracles
• Area/Yield (Developed in Exxon in the 50’s)
– Basin Area*Productive part*bbl/acre• forerunner of modern techniques
• Volumetric Yield– Introduced pay thickness
• Analogy Methods• Geochemical Material Balance• Play Analysis (Number and Sizes of
Fields/Summation of Prospects) oder

Play Analysis Benefits
• Efficient use of Geological and Geophysical Data
• Efficient Utilization of heterogene database
• Easy to develop a complete, updateable resource database

Play Definitionby Duff &Hall 1995
• One or more closures of similar structural, depositional or hydrodynamic style, which result from a specific set of tectonic, depositional, diagenetic or halokineticprocesses within a sedimentary basin, and which with suitable reservoir and sealing lithologies, and hydrocarbon charge, may form prospective hydrocarbon traps
CNPA February 2005CNPA February 2005
16
Play Definitionby NPD
• A Play is Defined by a set of Geological Factors and Attributes that, when combined, give the conditions necessary for the Accumulation of Hydrocarbons
• All Prospects and Discoveries within a Play share the same set of necessary attributes and are hence distinguishable from Prospects and Discoveries belonging to other Plays
CNPA February 2005CNPA February 2005
17
Play Attributes
• Existence of a Mature Source Rock in Possible Drainage Area of Traps
• Existence of sealed Traps formed prior to the end of Hydrocarbon Migration
• Existence of Reservoir Rock

Estimation Problems
• Modeling the wrong geological concept
• The right geology is modeled wrongly
• Concept is missed• Complex Geological control• Poor data• Subjective risking• Mistakes
