continuousAssessment: USGS Continuous Oil and Gas Assessment

In madorning/energySim0.1.0: Spatial Energy Simulation: Linking Subsurface to Surface Resources

Description

Performs USGS assessment summarized in Charpentier (2010) as a vectorized Monte Carlo.

Usage

continuousAssessment(auMC, auType, auProbability, auAreaProductive,
  auAreaDrainage, auPercAreaUntested, auPercAreaSweet, auPercFutureSS, auEURss,
  auPercFutureNS = NULL, auEURns = NULL, auGOR = NULL, auNGLGR = NULL,
  auLGR = NULL, year)

Arguments

auMC	number of MC iterations to perform
auType	type of assessment, string specifier of 'oil' or 'gas'
auProbability	Probability: as a decimal percentage
auAreaProductive	Productive area of accumulation: c(min,mode,max) [acres]
auAreaDrainage	Uncertainty about average drainage area of wells: c(min,mode,max) [acres]
auPercAreaUntested	Percentage of total assessment-unit area that is untested: c(min,mode,max) [percentage]
auPercAreaSweet	Percentage of untested assessment-unit area in sweet spots: c(min,mode,max) [percentage]
auPercFutureSS	Future success ratio for sweet spots: c(min,mode,max) [percentage]
auEURss	Uncertainty about sweet spot average EUR (MMBO for oil; BCFG for gas): c(min,med,max) [MMBO or BCFG]
auPercFutureNS	Future success ratio for non-sweet spots: c(min,mode,max) [percentage]
auEURns	Uncertainty about non-sweet spot average EUR (MMBO for oil; BCFG for gas): c(min,med,max) [MMBO or BCFG]
auGOR	Gas/oil ratio (CFG/BO): c(min,mode,max) [CFG/BO]
auNGLGR	NGL/gas ratio (BNGL/MMCFG): c(min,mode,max) [BNGL/MMCFG]
auLGR	Liquids/gas ratio (BLIQ/MMCFG): c(min,mode,max) [BLIQ/MMCFG]
year	Year [XXXX] of factsheet publication of assessment numbers.

Details

If the AU is to be assessed as entirely sweet spot, simply omit the non-sweet spot variables. Due to the nature of random sampling, the simulation is vectorized and limited only by the available storage.

Value

A list where each row represents an MC iteration variable combination while the columns contain the sample distributions. The column names are as follows

• DrainageArea

• EURsweet

• EURnonSweet

• ProductiveArea

• PercAreaUntested

• PercAreaSweet

• PercFutureSweet

• PercFutureNonSweet

• untestedArea

• SweetArea

• NonSweetArea

• NumSweetWells

• NumNonSweetWells

• SweetAccumulation

• NonSweetAccumulation

• totalAccumulation

Depending on the type of assessment, also returns (for 'Gas')

• LGR

• SweetNGLinGas

• NonSweetNGLinGas

• totalNGLinGas

or returns (for 'Oil')

• GOR

• NGLGR

• SweetGasinOil

• NonSweetGasinOil

• totalGasInOil

• SweetNGLinOil

• NonSweetNGLinOil

• totalNGLinOil

Note

Edited by CDMartinez 24 Nov 15. As of July 2016, the standard 'z-score' for the EUR distribution is implemented as 2.326 (99%) in enforceRankCorrelation. Assigning year <= 1 will assume zscore of 3.09 (99.9%) as used in conventionalAssessment EUR distributions since approximately 2013.
