Uncertainty Management
EF 2023-24
Résumé
Natural resources are associated with considerable uncertainty. One of the largest
sources of uncertainty is due to the spatial variability in rock properties. The
proposed research program aims to develop mathematical and computational
methods to quantify and manage uncertainty. This uncertainty must be managed
in the context of (1) dwindling conventional petroleum reserves, (2) development of
the huge unconventional deposits in northern Alberta, the natural gas reserves in
the far north, and (3) interest in cleaner sources of energy. The proposed Chair
renewal is aimed at the quantification of uncertainty that results from sparse data
and procedures to manage this uncertainty.
