Statistical Methods for Estimating Petroleum Resources
Concepts Used
Basic concepts used by PETRIMES are illustrated in fi gures 2.6 and
2.7. The upper right-hand corner of Figure 2.6 displays the facies distribution of a play containing pools and yet-to-be tested prospects.
The discoveries from the play were plotted in terms of the discovery
sequence (lower left-hand corner). Some questions and concerns that
arise from examining the discovery sequence are as follows:
How can these data be used to estimate the sizes of the undis•
covered pools in this play?
