Webinar
Online
Unfortunately our proposed Nov 25th webinar on the Kimmeridge Clay has turned into a bit of a 'dud' with limited enthusiasm from potential presenters.
Maybe two or three alternative reasons for this:
- It's my fault for not tracking down the right people.
- Folk don't actually believe that UKCS Exploration is about to take off again after years of marginalisation by the UK government, and its regulator the OGA.
- It's a broader issue with respect to UKCS E&P with companies spooked by the Windfall Tax and the promise of more to come.....
Perhaps all 3 have played a part.
However, consistent with what companies and eg BRINDEX are saying will happen, we are going to take the lead in 'looking elsewhere' for exploration opportunities, for example the Caribbean and SubSaharan Africa (and the US Onshore).
And 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:

Andy Pepper gave us a masterclass on 2. back in October:

....and I have in my head a plan for 3. soon!
