5 September 2011. London, UK. The Arctic remains one of the final frontier areas for oil and gas exploration. Although oil and gas has been produced in the Arctic region for years, many of the vast oil and gas fields that initiated interest in the Arctic are in decline. The high oil price is again driving investment in E&P in this region as the focus gradually moves offshore from the prolific onshore areas. The vast estimated reserves in the Arctic coupled with improving technologies to cope with the harsh Arctic environment have led more companies to explore this region over the last few years. Visiongain has calculated the Arctic oil and gas exploration and production market to be worth $11.93bn in 2011, and is anticipating growth over the next ten years.
Although the Arctic has incredible potential, with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimating 90 billion barrels of undiscovered oil and 1,668 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered gas, a calculated and cautious approach to exploitation will be vital to optimal development. Due to the lack of geological data transparency in the Arctic, oil and gas exploration and production will be a high risk, high reward venture in which only the most experienced companies can compete.
