Reducing Investment Risk in Tractors and Combines with Improved Terminal Asset Value Forecasts
Download1996
Mumey, Glen, Unterschultz, Jim
Secondary asset market data for combines and tractors used to estimate and separate out historical economic depreciation, embodied technological change and time value change. Combines and tractors generally exhibit constant geometric economic depreciation on a year to year basis. Depreciation...

Risk Management for Tailings Dam Safety: Considerations for Long-term and Post-closure Timelines
DownloadFall 2022
Post-closure tailings dams are expected to remain on mine sites in perpetuity following mine closure. Combined with the lack of knowledge regarding how tailings dams will evolve over time, these long-time frames necessitate the development of risk management practices. The purpose of this...

Limited understanding of the complex subsurface brings uncertainty and risk of production shortfalls in the oilfield development. Geostatistics provides tools to model the geological uncertainty that occurs in reservoir decision making. The common decision criterion under uncertainty is to find...
