Explore asset
How explore asset are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Only about 25% of Explore asset is information work today — the rest is physical, and moves slowly. The exposure is concentrated in the back office: the books, the paperwork, the scheduling, the marketing.
Why: Derived from the industry lens, as no child occupations are seeded. The top-level process 'Explore asset' is anchored in the Oil and Gas Extraction industry, which strongly indicates a physical value-producing environment (< 0.3). While it involves some geological data analysis, the core work of exploration requires heavy on-the-ground operations like seismic surveying and exploratory drilling.

Business-as-Code
Read as an executable program — the work decomposed into Code, Generative, Agentic, and Human.
Explore asset sits inside a larger value-flow — 1 parent structure it composes into. The hierarchy is grounding, not the story: it tells you which aggregate exposure Explore asset inherits.

How the work flows
Trigger: Geological hypotheses or the acquisition of new acreage trigger the formal investigation of a designated area for hydrocarbon reserves.
- Acquire geological and geophysical survey data
- Process and interpret seismic imaging to map the subsurface
- Identify and rank drillable prospects
- Drill exploratory test wells
- Perform well logging and extract core samples
- Evaluate flow rates and reservoir characteristics
- Determine commercial viability of discovered hydrocarbons
Outcome: The reservoir is geologically quantified and a formal determination of commercial viability dictates whether to develop or abandon the prospect.
