Prospects

Prospects are researched through various publications to find announcements on Prospects, including announcements of unsuccessful drilling. A second group of Prospects is also included on the map, highlighting areas where Exploration Plans are in place but no Fields, Discoveries or Prospect announcements have been found.
Data Updates
The Prospects database is updated weekly.
