Introduction to prospect evaluation:What are we talking about : concept, play or prospect? What is a geological model, definition, useful tools, level of knowledge…
What typology for a prospect : Structural, stratigraphic, combined, multi-objectives, complex, with direct Hydrocarbon Indicator (DHI)…
The evaluation processes.

Hydrocarbon In Place evaluation, how to assess uncertainties.
Probabilism vs Determinism
Uncertainty ranges, distribution type & shape for different parameters used for resources calculation (volumes):
Impact of Knowledge on uncertainties evaluation
Evaluation of static parameters: Gross rock volume, Net to gross, Porosity, saturation

Resources Evaluation: From Hydrocarbons In place to resources. Evaluation of reservoir and dynamic parameters:
Fluid characteristics, Bo and Bg, permeability, recovery factor…
Complex prospects: Multi scenarios, multi objectives, DHI, inerts contents…
Some insights on Unconventional prospects evaluation

How to evaluate the Chance of success or Risking:
