Reservoir Uncertainty and Risk Management and Value of Information

In the oil and gas industry, making informed decisions amidst uncertainties can significantly impact project success. Our comprehensive “Reservoir Uncertainty and Risk Management and Value of Information” course is designed to equip professionals with the skills and knowledge to effectively manage reservoir uncertainties and make data-driven decisions. This course integrates practical techniques with theoretical insights to enhance your ability to evaluate and mitigate risks in reservoir management.

The primary objective of this course is to provide participants with a deep understanding of the principles and practices of managing uncertainties in reservoir evaluation and development. By the end of the course, participants will be able to apply value of information (VOI) techniques to optimize decision-making processes in the presence of uncertainty.
