Key words: production planning, geological uncertainty, stochastic methods.

In this paper the approach to planning of oil production levels based on geological uncertainty is proposed. Method proposed takes into account production risks through the multivariate calculations application by numerical and semi-analytical reservoir models as the main stages of the planning workflow. By using this approach one can quickly calculate the possible technological and economic characteristics of the development project.
