    Study Notes

    Global Energy Trend Overview

    • Energy is essential for daily activities and worldwide demand is rising due to population growth.
    • Oil and gas accounted for over 50% of the global energy mix in 2022.
    • Energy transition involves shifting from fossil fuels to renewable sources, requiring time and sustainable methods amidst increasing energy demands.
    • Exploration is critical to maintain oil and gas supply, particularly as production declines; approximately 80% of fossil fuels will need time to be replaced.
    • Resilient exploration can yield resources ready for production within five years, featuring low break-even prices and minimal upstream emissions.
    • As hydrocarbon production decreases, natural gas is positioned as a transition fuel, while carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies will play a pivotal role.

    Exploration in O&G Business

    • Exploration focuses on locating untapped hydrocarbon resources through geological and geophysical analyses.
    • The exploration process consists of essential phases including pre-drill planning, risk assessment, and post-drill evaluations.
    • Pre-drill phases involve detailed geological studies and site assessments to identify potential reserves.
    • Risk assessment is crucial in evaluating economic viability and potential returns on investment before drilling.
    • Post-drill activities identify opportunities for development and maturation of projects based on exploration results.
