Where do we go next? The history of the oil and gas industry is one replete with explorers who found new reserves in new areas or found ways to economically extract known reserves
in known areas.
They used their training or gut feelings, often both, and what ever the
latest and greatest technology and processes available. As has been said
"The more things change, the more they stay the same".
 
We began the work on this meeting with a single question to many in the industry -- "How would you define a Frontier Play?" What we discovered is that there is a wide difference of opinion.
 
You Answered:
  • Wildcat -- something drilled speculatively without proven resource
  • Old Reservoirs utilizing new technology
  • Areas in the past that have been inaccessible for political, physical, or operational reasons.
  • Absence of Data/Untouched by the Drill Bit
  • (These were the 4 leading answers out of about 35 different definitions)
     
    Join us September 14th, 2011 at the Ellison Miles Geotechnology Institute, Brookhaven College to explore with your peers the "Frontiers" & what it takes to turn them into "Emerging Plays".
