Report summary
Conventional exploration spend nosedived during the pandemic. We see a quiet recovery over the next five years, led by Majors and NOCs. Emerging deepwater provinces will attract increasing levels of spend. Non-IOCs (such as conglomerates and small, local independents) still have an important role to play. They explore in places less accessible, or less attractive, to IOCs. Where they explore has shifted over the past decade.
