Africa or South America? Which Atlantic Margin basins are best-positioned to manage above-ground risks to promote E&P success? Considering geological potential, investor interest and upcoming entry opportunities, we selected promising Atlantic Margin basins and assessed their above-ground (political, regulatory, economic, operational) risks to determine which countries offer a conducive investment environment for long-term upstream projects. Take a look at the blog post. Our report "Margin Calls: Risk and opportunity in Atlantic Margin conjugate basins" has generated a lot of interest.

While there’s little doubt over the attractiveness of the rocks, history shows that maximizing resource potential requires effectively managing and overcoming above-ground risks.
