This year, the topic is: What is the new normal? Just another cycle or a structural change in the hydrocarbon industry. 

Promising a vibrant, provocative and stimulating discussion on a range of topics: redefining Corporate strategies, the Energy mix, the crew change, the Industry’s response to intense pressure across the sector, the demise of some Small Caps, bankruptcy of other Industry instiutions, the impact of increasing Global/Social conscience, and retrenching by  the Service Sector, the Forum will be headlined by key Industry figures.

PROSPEX 2015 Early Bird Registration ends 31 July

Leave a comment

PROSPEX has become the premier event for promoting prospects in the UK and adjacent areas. It provides a great forum to quickly see what’s on offer and of course to catch up with old friends and colleagues. The last year has been an extremely tough one for marketing prospects due to the savage cuts in exploration budgets. As the oil price and company cash flows improve, reserve replacement will undoubtedly quickly move back up the agenda. So now is the time to book your place or booth at PROSPEX 2015 and seek the counterparty to get your deal done and prospect drilled. The last 12 months can only have given people more time to mature their prospects and hone their well costs.

The Oil Exploration Game: An Educational Tool to Enhance Learning

23 September 2015, PESGB Training, 7th Floor, No.1 Croydon, 12-16 Addiscombe Road, CR0 0XT

Research has shown that games can be an excellent tool to enhance learning objectives, particularly of abstract and complex concepts. As we know, the petroleum industry is a very detailed, technical business.  Unlike many industries it deals with opportunities that have a tremendous amount of uncertainty and risk in a high cost environment, particularly in exploration.  To aid in the understanding of oil and gas exploration and complement current secondary school and undergraduate courses in a variety of disciplines such as geology, geography, business and economics, an exciting new learning tool has been developed by Marc Bond.

The Oil Exploration Game puts individuals, working in teams, into a demanding and competitive environment where they have to make decisions on where to explore and how much to pay to acquire licences.  In addition to adding enrichment to standard course instruction and gaining an appreciation of the oil and gas industry, the participants also learn important skills related to problem solving, decision making, team work, creative thinking, leadership, and coping with uncertainty and change.  By the end of the game, the students should have a much better appreciation of the importance of geological concepts and decision-making skills in exploring for hydrocarbons, and how this fits into the wider issues related to energy and geo-political considerations.

PESGB, AAPG and Rose & Associates are sponsoring an Educational Outreach programme to raise public awareness of the oil & gas industry and support the teaching of petroleum geology concepts.  The aim is to use the Oil Exploration Game as a direct tool to reach students.  The intent is that experienced geoscientists in the hydrocarbon industry would facilitate the Game.  The de-brief session following the completion of the game is a fundamental process of the simulation and the facilitator is expected to be a key part of the de-brief.  Bringing our experience to this initiative will be invaluable for its success.

PESGB is looking for members who would be interested in participating in this educational initiative.  PESGB is hosting an event on 23 September to train those who are interested to become facilitators for the game.

If you would like to support the PESGB Education programme then contact Marc Bond, game designer (marcbond55@gmail.com) or Guy Elliott, Executive Director PESGB (guy@pesgb.org.uk)

The first PESGB Special Interest Group meeting on Africa was a one-day event held in 1998 on West Africa. Since then the African E&P Conference has evolved into the premier event for technical discussions and networking on exploration and geosciences in Africa, with a rigourous technical programme and bustling exhibition floor. The 2015 event entitled “Always Something New Coming Out of Africa”, inspired by Aristotle, promises to build on the successes of previous shows, do not miss out!
