Dr. Fred Schroder, Retired from Exxon and Exxon/Mobil, introduces the short course on Petroleum Exploration: A Field Example. After a brief introduction of himself, Dr. Schroeder provides a brief overview of the eight (8) lesson course, that begins with this introduction.
This short course takes a brief look at what happens in the early stages of field exploration in the petroleum industry. The Gippsland Basin, offshore Australia, is the field example, and we start with a look prior to the first offshore licensing round of the field. Throughout the course, we will progress to the stage of management review of a wildcat well.
