Finding hydrocarbon resources is an uncertain business. While historically most wildcat wells became dry holes, some successful wells have led to discoveries that changed the course of business. With such uncertain outcomes, how do we know an exploration opportunity is a good venture? This PetroKnowledge training course discusses the skills and analytical tools that answer this question.
A good exploration decision is multi-dimensional; it is about understanding disciplines from subsurface to commercial; a wide coverage that eventually reflect our understanding about value potentials of exploration decisions. Our focus will therefore be on “value” rather than the generally desired “volume.” We will discuss value drivers for exploration drilling, from the usual suspects—chance of success and oil prices—to the less tangible subject of value of information. We use economic and analysis tools that support good decision-making.
This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight following:
We will cover the art and science of valuation in hydrocarbon exploration. Our goal is to familiarize the participants with an understanding of uncertainties, decisions, and consistent valuation of exploration opportunities. In addition, we discuss the analytical tools that support exploration decision making.
