Exploration Discovery Appraisal Development Production Abandonment
-
GOM developments are relatively low risk, but have short producing life spans
-
This model requires that these types of assets are continuously identified
-
A balanced portfolio of assets across the life cycle is more highly valued by the market
-
The market rewards activity and the achieving of targets and timetables set
-
A meaningful exploration discovery will have a company changing impact
