Who Should Attend
Explorers, technical managers, and subsurface leaders seeking to sharpen exploration judgment through repeated decision-making and comparison with actual project outcomes.
Description
A collaborative program focused on exploration best practices where teams work through real case studies drawn from a global library. Key elements of the course include:
Accelerating Exploration Judgement
A case-based approach to strengthening decision quality in a higher-consequence environment.
Powering Decision Quality
Expose teams to real outcomes beyond their own asset base while guided by global exploration leaders.
Strengthening Risk Framing
Leverage cross-basin examples and real decision contexts to sharpen portfolio-level thinking.
Learning Outcomes
· Focus quickly on the key factors that control exploration potential to strengthen decision gate quality.
· Identify the critical risks and uncertainties that shape outcomes and impact portfolio planning.
· Approach failures as structured learning opportunities as required in high-consequence environments.
· Gain exploration cycle “repetitions” through real cases to build approaches that transfer across basins and plays.
Course Content
· Case Studies: Real examples drawn directly from the instructor’s experience, where results are known and can be dissected for insight.
· Round Table Discussions: Collaborative reviews of discoveries and dry holes to spark dialogue, challenge assumptions, and deepen understanding.
· Business Simulations: Fast-paced, “data-room style” exercises that train teams to quickly identify key potential, risks, and uncertainties.
· Modular Design: Numerous two-day sessions that cover exploration best practices and are customizable based on client needs.
· Follow-Up Consultations: One-on-one guidance available as part of the course to reinforce learning and support application back on the job.
