How specialist explorers in US GoM outperform
Report summary
Small, specialist independents have outperformed other US GoM companies on almost all exploration metrics. These companies have targeted different plays from the bigger explorers. They have achieved world-class success rates and commerciality metrics. Their value creation and full-cycle rates of return are outstanding. And they have achieved this through both high and low price cycles with a laser focus on how to commercialise prospects, even before they are drilled.
