Strategy
Athena has deep experience in managing risk in new & underexplored plays and is focused on high impact exploration in the basins of the Atlantic seaboard.
Underexplored plays cover a large spectrum of risk & often such plays can be found in proven as well as frontier and emerging basins. Understanding & differentiating between plays with a risk of >1 in 10 & those with a risk of c.1 in 5 is key in portfolio management for an explorer working in new plays.
At Athena, our strategy is focused on:
- Acquiring acreage with material exploration potential.
- Maturing a portfolio of drillable prospects >50mmboe recoverable
- Farming out assets to fund drilling
- Delivering a portfolio of economic, marketable pre-development hydrocarbon discoveries


Our strategy is born from our key strengths as a team:
- Understanding play risk management
- Having an intimate knowledge of the plays of the circum-Atlantic basins
- A clear focus on identifying opportunities at the inflection point in the creaming curve allowing us to manage risk & create asymmetric value proposition for all stakeholders
