At the 2019 ADI Forum, ADI Analytics’ annual oil and gas conference, Natalya Brooks, Sr. Strategy Advisor at Equinor, explained the evolving role of exploration in the future of the oil and gas industry. This video discusses how exploration budgets, significantly reduced during price downturns, are cautiously returning, while companies often avoid disclosing exploration activities to investors. It highlights the crucial long-term role of exploration in securing future portfolios, contrasting it with the underestimated potential of enhanced recovery (EOR) as a resource replacement strategy. The discussion emphasizes the growing focus on technological advancements to improve recovery rates, given the current low efficiency in both offshore and onshore fields.
