Exploration and production
Exploration and production (E&P) are key stages in the oil and gas industry. Exploration involves searching for oil and gas reserves beneath the Earth’s surface, using techniques like geological surveys and seismic testing. Once potential reserves are identified, production begins, which includes drilling wells to extract the resources and processing them for use. This entire process is crucial for supplying energy, driving economies, and meeting the global demand for fossil fuels. E&P requires significant investment, technology, and expertise to ensure extraction is efficient and environmentally responsible.
