The art and science of exploring for oil and gas
Great oil, gas, and mineral finders have common characteristics that allow them to succeed. By surveying a select group of successful explorationists, we discovered they love the thrill of discovery and the deep satisfaction of being able to use science and art to find a valuable resource for the benefit of all mankind. Specifically, we identified the following common characteristics:
- Think positively (negative-thinking people do not find oil and gas)
- Are self-motivated and self-starting
- Are persistent
- Have vivid imaginations controlled by facts
- Develop creativity through visual thinking
