Play Fairway Analysis - the definitive guide to successful exploration
Course Summary: This course is designed to teach the methods needed to integrate a play-based approach into an oil and gas exploration campaign to deliver more successful results. The switch of focus by many companies, from searching for individual prospects to looking for successful plays allows explorers to quickly identify new opportunities (resulting in more efficient exploration campaigns). The focus of this course is making play maps that aid sound business decisions based on good geology.
Who Should Take the Course: The course Is designed for geoscience professionals with a wide range of experience (new industry entrants to more experienced geoscientists) who wish to gain a greater understanding of how to approach exploration from a play-based viewpoint and how to effectively go about assigning appropriate risk to plays.
