Abstract


Over the past 5 years, 200 North American oil and gas companies with nearly 110 billion dollars in debt have filed for bankruptcy. Many of these failures can be traced to a focus on production attainment instead of value creation, and pushing ahead with development before understanding whether the average well will be economic.

To mitigate these errors, opportunities should be evaluated using a staged approach and probabilistic tools including trumpet plots, confidence curves, and sequential aggregation plots. These tools help quantify the expected production variance and the number of appraisal wells needed to be confident of an economic development.

Most importantly, the process can be optimized to help ensure that if the project fails, it does so in the early stages when capital investments are relatively small. It’s also critical to document this work, compare it to your results, and make adjustments to do an even better job of delivering what’s promised next time.
