The future of Exploration and Development  presents some challenges that require perseverance in the quest for conventional and unconventional hydrocarbons, in both onshore and offshore basins.

These sessions will be held during #CONEXPLO22 on Wednesday November 9th and Thursday November 10th upon closing of the technical sessions.
