Claim One:
1. A method for integrating multiple analytical processes for evaluating risk and uncertainty elements of an exploration prospect, the method comprising: (a) defining at least one exploration prospect in an integrated environment; (b) defining at least one reservoir included in the exploration prospect in the integrated environment; (c) defining parameters for a plurality of reservoir evaluation tools for the reservoir in the integrated environment, wherein the reservoir evaluation tools assess risk and uncertainty of reservoir characteristics; (d) applying one of the reservoir evaluation tools to a subset of reservoir information for a specified reservoir characteristic, and integrating the reservoir evaluation tool results and information regarding the exploration prospect and the reservoir to generate a risk and uncertainty scorecard in the integrated environment; and (e) repeating steps (b) to (d) for each of the plurality of reservoir evaluation tools wherein each reservoir evaluation tool is applied to a related subset of reservoir information, and each risk and uncertainty scorecard has a comparable output format.
