How to be good oil finder part 1

Great oil, gas, and mineral finders have common characteristics that allow them to succeed.

By surveying a select group of successful explorationists, they love the thrill of discovery and the deep satisfaction of being able to use science and art to find a valuable resource for the benefit of all mankind. Specifically, we identified the following common characteristicsc (Norman H. Foster and Edward A. Beaumont,:

1. Think positively (negative-thinking people do not find oil and gas)

2. Are self-motivated and self-starting

3. Are persistent

4. Have vivid imaginations controlled by facts

5. Develop creativity through visual thinking

Who Finds Oil?

Only a small percentage of people exploring for oil, gas, and other natural resources actually find those resources in commercial quantities. We fervently believe, however, that one learns to be an oil and gas finder. Two of the best ways to learn to become oil finders are (1) to familiarize ourselves with the successful approaches and techniques of other oil and gas finders and (2) to develop our visual thinking skills.

Academic training (master degree or higher in geology)

Impact of technology (follow latest technology, microseismic,log image,inversion,4d)

TEAM (use all available techniques)

Creativity (Given that most geologists and geophysicists are scientifically and technically competent, what it that separates the oil and gas finders from the crowd is? Creativity is the most important ingredient in exploration)

Visual training (Geology is a visual science. To make insightful observations and dream more imaginative concepts, the visual skills of the geologist must be developed fully)
