REP announces H1 2014 exploration performance results
Richmond Energy Partners has announced the results of its analysis of global conventional oil and gas exploration drilling for 40 Mid-Cap and Large-Cap exploration and production (E&P) companies in H1 2014.
REP has also assessed potential the full-year 2014 performance by analysing exploration plans for the remainder of 2014.
Highlights
- Exploration drilling in H1 2014 was 28% down on H1 2013.
- Discovered volumes are down 49% on the same period in 2013.
- Success rates are being maintained but the average discovery size fell in H1 2014 to less than 50% of that recorded in 2012, largely due to the maturing offshore gas provinces in East Africa and the Mediterranean.
- New frontier drilling success continues to be elusive and the emerging pre-salt play in Angola is currently the hottest emerging play globally.
- REP forecasts that for the full year 2014, exploration drilling may be 16% down on 2013 with discovered volumes down by 36% on 2013 and almost 50% on 2012.
