Abstract

Any exploration project seeks to quickly and cheaply discover new hydrocarbon deposits with large quantities. An initial investment that covers the exploration, assessment, and development of a mine does not immediately result in a profit.The fact that exploration is typically a commercial activity carried out by private enterprises is a key consideration when thinking about exploration technologies. The likelihood of discovery is quite slim. Mineral discovery is a high-risk industry that, according to a famous saying, only succeeds three times out of every thousand attempts. In addition, mining itself is not profitable. Therefore, the first challenge facing those working in the exploration industry is persuading the management, which is risk adverse, to authorize an appropriate budget by outlining the potential of exploration projects. ‫مجلة‬ ‫النوعية‬ ‫للدراسات‬ ‫العالي‬ ‫المعهد‬ ‫مجلد‬ 3 ‫عدد‬ 14 ‫يوليو‬ ( 2023 )
