Its work is relevant to exploration and production operators seeking better reservoir understanding, recovery decisions and asset performance across conventional and unconventional resources. The supplied business context also highlights work with National Oil Companies on major upstream assets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pb-lead\"\u003eThis bundle turns that operating context into six connected strategic questions.
