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.
