oa Holistic Uncertainty Analysis for the Evaluation of Hydrocarbon Pore Volume from Petrophysical Data

The evaluation of the hydrocarbon pore volume (HPVOL) from petrophysical well log analysis is the starting point for calculating hydrocarbon in place (HIP), or in mature fields, the remaining hydrocarbon in place (RHIP). The understanding of these numbers and the associated uncertainty is critical to economic evaluation. HPVOL is normally calculated using a deterministic petrophysical workflow.
