In-person: Making good decisions under subsurface uncertainty: How difficult can it be?
![IRM-6-7feb.jpg](/contentassets/a505dab9940d4c8eb53febbf23c6be07/irm-6-7feb.jpg)
The FORCE IRM group invite you to this 2-day-seminar on 6-7 February 2024. It aims to gather subsurface practitioners for open discussions on uncertainty and its implementation in our industry.
Date | Time | Duration | Register by | Location |
6-7 Feb 2024 | 09:00 | 2 Days | 31 Jan 2024 | Valhall - Havtil |
Are we good enough at estimating subsurface uncertainty and at incorporating it when making decisions? What should we be doing to improve? Are we enabling decision makers to make good decisions?
The seminar is structured around 4 main themes:
- Biases, their effect and how to mitigate for these when making estimates / building models / making forecasts / creating decision support material
- Communicating uncertainty: Good practices and use cases
- Improving predictions
- Making Decisions under Uncertainty
