Main arguments of optimists
• a growing playing field
• the role of technology
• demand lower than anticipated

IFP R&D Program
• Risk assessment in exploration Increasing the success rate in exploration (notably in complex zones)
• EORIncreasing the sweep efficiency by improving the reservoir
characterization, acting on fluid properties and fluid-rock interactions and developing new drilling and well technology applied to complex reservoirs or offshore, etc.
• Unconventional oil resourcesOptimizing tar sands and extra-heavy oil exploitation (from reservoir to
syncrude production)
• Energy saving Developing engines with new combustion systems
A contribution to a sustainable supply of energy resources
