This presentation examines an integrated exploration-to-development approach that incorporates subsurface, commercial, and capital project considerations from the pre-discovery stage. The methodology evaluates multiple development concepts early in the exploration lifecycle to better link geological uncertainty with development feasibility, execution constraints, and value outcomes. Rather than converging prematurely on a single concept, alternative development pathways are assessed to improve portfolio prioritization and distinguish prospects with credible routes to commerciality. The presentation will also show how early development framing informs focused appraisal programs by targeting key subsurface uncertainties that most impact investment decisions. Attendees will gain insight into aligning exploration decisions with development planning to improve capital efficiency, preserve optionality, and accelerate progression toward development readiness.
