In the opening paragraphs of the above article on dependencies between two reservoirs, the authors state that: "In particular, varying the allowed probability for the dependent reservoir is shown to not influence either the expected project value or the standard deviation around the expected value. The result is that the cumulative probability of obtaining a hydrocarbon reserve in excess of a fixed amount is also not influenced by the dependence probability chosen and behaves as though the two reservoirs were totally independent of each other."
