PREDICTIONS about the downfall of the UK oil and gas industry have abounded in recent years, as existing, easy-to-access reserves have become depleted, and the oil price has collapsed, meaning that many remaining reserves are becoming less economical to exploit. Tens of thousands of jobs have been lost, and there’s little doubt that the industry is struggling, particularly in the North Sea.

IN 1976, George Box opined: “All models are wrong, some are useful.” How do we assure that a model is not sufficiently wrong that it is useful? A useful model is one that adequately predicts the results under the conditions and scale required for design or a process simulation. Most models of course are not derived at design scale. We are inevitably working outside the envelope of model derivation. So how do we build confidence that the extrapolation is adequately correct that the results may be trusted?
