1.	To quantify and better represent uncertainty in data, in geological and in reservoir         CR + E
         engineering models, as an aid to improved decision-making in appraisal /
         development planning and reservoir management.

 	(Asset focus: appraisal, field development and production)

2.	To exploit advances in computing power, neural net technology and                              E + TE
         visualisation technology to improve interpretation, integration, modelling and
         simulation of reservoir data and behaviour.
