Read more on the outlook for global conventional exploration, highlighting the following five themes to watch in 2019: • Success will remain largely a West Side Story – can Africa start to catch up the Americas? • Big exploration stays an exclusive club – how might the corporate landscape evolve? • Budgets remain flat while activity edges up – will any companies break ranks? • Exploration profitability continues – are the improvements of the past two years here to stay? • Growing trend of public and government opposition – will the exploration bans spread?
