Abstract Conditional analysis is an essential component for evaluation of petroleum resources. Such analysis attempts to answer the questions: for the input data and a given play potential, what is the most likely number of pools and their sizes? An example is provided to illustrate the usage and application of this conditional method of analysis. This example demonstrates that the method can be used as a feedback mechanism to challenge the underlying geological concepts of the play; and to yield more certain predictions if additional information is given. Consequently, the method will enhance the reliability of the estimates of petroleum resources.
