The human mind remains a vital, though often overlooked, instrument in petroleum exploration. Technology and data may transform exploration, but human judgement interprets evidence, challenges assumptions and shapes decisions.
This issue examines seven dimensions of human behaviour influencing exploration philosophy—from exploration stages, design thinking and team composition to decision-making, disruptive innovation, ambiguity and serendipity—highlighting the enduring role of human creativity.
Other features examine reservoir development under bottom-water conditions, energy resilience, innovative pipeline-crossing solutions, fibre-optic wellbore monitoring, AI and advanced analytics. The issue also explores digital companies’ climate commitments amid rising AI-related energy demand.
Together, these perspectives reflect an industry shaped by human intelligence, technological innovation, resilience and sustainability.
These and several other insightful developments form the September issue of DEW Journal.
