In a two-hour moderated session, they will share their exploration roadmap that discovered billions of barrels of oil in a new and unknown petroleum system. The discussion will address the exploration challenges in the context of Business Trends in 2019.
In a post-downturn oil-price cycle, does the future of exploration require a fundamental re-think or can exploration regain its status as an engine for growth? If so, how might that be realized?
In late 2006 and early 2007, a small team of Private Equity-backed, proven explorers, embarked on building a top-quartile exploration portfolio. Within 3 years, the team had negotiated and secured what was determined to be the most prolific (operated) portfolio position in the Kwanza basin, offshore Angola.
