The Application of GIS in Petroleum Upstream Investment Decision making
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper discusses a GIS based decision support system that supports the petroleum upstream investment decision-making. Functions of prospect screening and evaluation in both technical aspects (Volume, structure, trap, reservoir and charge, etc.) and economic aspects (Net present value, Investment / profit Ratio, etc.) are designed and integrated into a GIS platform to supports and facilitate the decision making process. The decision support system has been tested in a virtual offshore exploration prospect. The study represents a test bed for decision makers at all levels to establish prospect screening and evaluation guidelines that may be applicable to other related prospect investment issues.

متن کاملDesigning a new multi-objective fuzzy stochastic DEA model in a dynamic environment to estimate efficiency of decision making units (Case Study: An Iranian Petroleum Company)
This paper presents a new multi-objective fuzzy stochastic data envelopment analysis model (MOFS-DEA) under mean chance constraints and common weights to estimate the efficiency of decision making units for future financial periods of them. In the initial MOFS-DEA model, the outputs and inputs are characterized by random triangular fuzzy variables with normal distribution, in which ...
