Lunch'n Think Webinar: W(h)ither Exploration

....the demise of Exploration is over reported! 0

Friday, February 5, 2021, Webinar, Online

Conjecture around the Energy Transition has led to the demise of Exploration being much reported. And yet if we think about the ‘other Energy Transition’ – the essential task of lifting a billion plus people – in Africa and SE Asia for example – it’s clear that global energy demand is simply going to grow, that oil and especially gas will be crucial to meeting this demand, and that years of underinvestment have left us short of hundreds of billions of barrels and thousands of Tcf.

Future Exploration needs to find ‘advantaged’ barrels and gas molecules. By ‘advantaged’ we mean those that sit at the front of the cost curve and have the best ‘carbon credentials’.

Where might those be? And where are they certainly not?

These themes will be explored in this opening Lunch’n Think webinar.

The times in this schedule are UK time

David Bamford - Director - Future Energy Partners Ltd

Getting on with Exploration, with Gas as a key target

Talk Description.
It is not difficult to demonstrate that a growing global energy demand requires the discovery by exploration of significant amounts of Oil and gas, out to 2050.

But a return to the ‘good old days’ – Business As Usual – is not appropriate, I believe.

In this Webinar, I will focus on how we find ‘Advantaged’ hydrocarbons, by which I mean those that sit at the front end of the cost curve and have high potential for emissions and flaring elimination.

This leads inexorably to the so-called “Super Basins” where there is a wealth of infrastructure and data (and petroleum systems are well understood), even if some of them may be termed “Mature Provinces”.

The Deliberate Search for ‘Advantaged Gas’ is an attractive concept!


David Bamford is well known around the oil & gas industry both as an explorer and a geophysicist. He retired from BP plc in 2003, his last four positions being Chief Geophysicist (1990-1995), Business Unit Leader (General Manager) for first West Africa and then Norway (1995-1999), and finally Head of Exploration until 2003.

He has undertaken asset and company valuation projects for investment banks, hedge funds and small oil companies. He has been a board director of Tullow Oil and Premier Oil.

He holds a Physics degree from the University of Bristol and a Ph.D in Geological Sciences from the University of Birmingham.
