Report summary
The vast majority of exploration drilling has been in the shelf, where most discoveries have been made. The past decade has seen explorers shift towards deepwater drilling, resulting in large gas and/or condensate discoveries. Developing these discoveries is challenging, and much of the gas is uncommercial and remains stranded. Continued high oil prices could make deepwater exploration more attractive.
