Description

 
Exploration has discovered some 4-5 trillion BOE of conventional oil and gas resources over the last 100 years. Of this, some 2 trillion BOE has been produced.  Since much of the resource base is challenged by commercial, economic and/or political issues, exploration is still seen as a viable growth option for the industry.
 
However, over the past decade, conventional exploration has discovered around 25 BBOE of resources per year (about half of the annual global production), leaving in recent years unconventional resources filling the gap.  Despite the difficult challenges the industry has faced in conventional exploration, many companies have managed to explore successfully.  
 
Mr. Nyquist will present a perspective on the long-term trends in both conventional and unconventional oil and gas exploration, some views on the best performing companies, and lessons learned on what the leading companies are doing to deliver strong exploration performance.
