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


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

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

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!
