Statistical Approach
• Drill 1000 or more wells, and use statistics as a guide for well design.
• Never mind about collecting good data.
• Never mind about formation characteristics or well design.
• Just use trendology to minimize uncertainty.

Recovery Factor Relation to EUR• EUR is forecast recovery to abandonment rate or
pressure• Recovery factor – RF – is fraction of hydrocarbon in
place– For conventional reservoir RF relates to IOIP or IGIP– If done on a resource basis instead of a well drainage (SRV)
basis, the RF could be much smaller

Drilling Execution
Potential Landing Zones Identification
• Zone A: Secondary siliceous interval, 6-8% porosity, higher resistivity, lower in-situ stresses, good steerable markers.
• Zone B: Primary siliceous interval 6-8% porosity, thicker pay interval, lower in-situ stresses.
