This paper presents an analytical framework and a stochastic modelling approach to forecasting how exploration and exploitation opportunities can be transformed into future uncertain resources and reserves. The basic idea is to model a portfolio of projects that transform uncertain resources and reserves through a set of exploration, appraisal, development and production activities. The transformation considers shared sub-surface dependencies as well shared above-surface facilities and shared fiscals. The approach will be illustrated using a illustrative, but realistic portfolio of exploration opportunities.
