Data Acquisition for Exploration: Risk Reduction or POS Polarisation?
Acquiring additional data in a basin (for example seismic acquisition or reprocessing) tends to be a costly and time-consuming affair. In many cases data acquisition programmes are simply considered an essential pre-requisite for doing exploration. However, justification to carry out such work can also be based on Value of Information (VoI) assessments. Data acquisition for […]
The Bull’s Head Risk Matrix: A Data-Driven Approach to Risk Assessment
The Bull’s Head Risk Matrix is developed to assist risk assessment, which, by nature, is a subjective affair. The Risk Matrix forces us to base the assessment as much as possible on data, information and understanding, making the assessment as objective as possible. While the matrix was developed for oil and gas exploration, it can […]
