《Managing Non-Technical Risk in Exploration and Production Projects：Opportunity to leverage the IA Process》
Introduction
Oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) activities has progressively shifted to more challenging geographies across the world as the curtains drop on the era of easy oil. Success is therefore largely driven by cutting edge technology such as horizontal multi-directional drilling, subsea technologies that enables oil and gas production in water depths above 1,000metres, 3D technologies to better define subsurface features etc. Although the E&P industry has made giant strides in the technical space, the Industry has not matched technical advancement with capacity to manage critical non-technical challenges. Non-technical issues in oil and gas operations are becoming more complex and the industry need to pay closer attention to how it is managed
