Super Basins 12: The 'Top 10' Source Rocks?

Lunch'n Learn.....where in the World? 0

Friday, January 27, 2023, Webinar, Online

We are going to take the lead in looking for exploration opportunities in less explored parts of the world, for example the Caribbean and SubSaharan Africa (and the US Onshore).

My thought about relevant technologies remains that Exxon (and their partners in Guyana) have given us an object lesson on how to explore, applicable not only in Deep Water:

1. Identify the potential for highly productive Source Rocks.
2. Understand the resulting Petroleum Systems.
3, Make adroit use of 3D Seismic and Attributes/AVO.

This new Webinar is about 1:

He has served on the boards of Paras Ltd, a small exploration and IS/IT consulting company in which he held 22% equity, until its sale to RPS Energy in 2008 and Welltec a/s, a Danish well engineering company, as the nominee of the private equity investor Riverside.
From 2012 to 201 he was on the board of ASX-quoted Australia Oriental Energy as a non-executive director.

He was a founder of Richmond Energy Partners, a small oil & gas research house, and several media companies that focus on the oil & gas sector, and has served as an advisor to Alliance Bernstein, Opus Executive, the Parkmead Group plc, and Kimmeridge Energy LLP.
