This has caused major corporate restructuring and reductions in staff throughout the industry. Because oil exploration must now be done with fewer people under more difficult economic constraints, it is essential that the most effective and efficient procedures be used. Computing Risk for Oil Prospects describes how prospect risk assessment - predicting the distribution of financial gains or losses that may result from the drilling of an exploration we 410 0$aComputer methods in the geosciences ;$v14. 606 $aPetroleum$xProspecting$xData processing 606 $aRisk assessment$xData processing 615 0$aPetroleum$xProspecting$xData processing. 615 0$aRisk assessment$xData processing. 676 $a622/.1828 700 $aHarbaugh$b John Warvelle$f1926-$053477 701 $aDavis$b John C$0204476 701 $aWendebourg$b Johannes$01824782 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911006670303321 996 $aComputing risk for oil prospects$94392105 997 $aUNINA
