Business of Geology: Making the Business Case for Geology 1 & 2
Special Session
Wednesday, 30 September 2020, 8:00 a.m.–11:50 a.m. | Houston, Texas
With the increased focus on cost reductions in the current
commodity price environment, many companies are cutting
costs by removing geological data gathering. While many
geologists inherently understand the value of collecting and
analyzing geological data, it is more challenging to articulate
the economic benefits, especially to non-geological team
members. This session will include examples of leveraging
existing data from public sources, new analytical techniques
applied to existing data, and collection of new data and how this
new information has provided the opportunity to make better or
faster business decisions.
