Abstract: The Art and Science of Exploration – the Skills required to be a Complete Explorationist

Most geoscientists and students have a tendency to treat the business of exploring for oil and gas as consisting of utilizing purely science and math skills. Based on my own varied exploration experiences around the world and of those experts whom I have worked with, I illustrate the fact that much of exploration is about using one’s imagination in filling the huge gaps of information that are an integral part of our business. In my presentations, I share many examples drawn from work examples to show how imagination has to be part of our work processes. One of my great thrills is in sharing verses that I have written about our business over the years.
