Improving the exploration process by learning from the past : proceedings of the Norwegian Petroleum Society Conference, September 1998, Haugesund, Norway

Learning by experience is both a part of the daily life and the exploration life. A systematic review of the past is essential to improve the exploration process by better managing risks and uncertainties. Learning through different disciplines has become a favoured technique. With new tools for int...
