In our latest blog post we share the take-aways from BEOS 2025 regarding the state of the industry and future trends. Whilst the traditional E&P industry continues to be sluggish for smaller companies, the dawn of sub-surface energy storage could herald a golden age for geoscientists. If you couldn’t make it, give it a read and get the gist of what you missed out on.
You may have heard the news of an active onshore licensing round in the Sultanate of Oman but may be less sure of what it covers, where the blocks are located and what plays are involved.
