Why Choose this Training Course

Assessment of exploration plays and prospects is a critical discipline for allocating capital, prioritising drilling opportunities, and managing exploration risk.

This fully updated exploration play assessment training course provides a modern, practical framework for evaluating exploration opportunities using quantitative and probabilistic techniques. Participants will learn how to estimate resource volumes, quantify geological uncertainties, and assess the probability of hydrocarbon accumulation in a consistent and repeatable way.

The exploration play assessment training compares leading industry methodologies with recommended best practices, enabling participants to choose the most appropriate approach for their organisation.

Through real-world case studies, exercises, and workshops, attendees will gain practical tools for evaluating plays and prospects, high-grading exploration portfolios, and improving investment decision-making.

We are also a proud member of the Energy Institute of UK.
