日本語
石油・ガス企業が既存の地球科学・上流技術を活用し、地熱・天然水素・リチウム・地質貯留・深海採鉱などを共同評価する「Co-exploration」戦略を提唱。適合性マトリクスで各代替資源を比較し、CCS/CO2-EORは技術的親和性が高いが税制優遇と未成熟な炭素市場に依存、地熱・リチウムはバランス型、天然水素は戦略整合性が高いが技術成熟度が低いと評価。許認可・資源所有権・環境要件・社会的受容などの課題も指摘する。
English
This study proposes 'Co-exploration,' a diversification strategy letting oil and gas firms leverage upstream geoscience capabilities to jointly assess geothermal, natural hydrogen, lithium-in-brine, geological storage, and deep-sea mining. A compatibility matrix shows CCS/CO2-EOR have strong technical synergies but depend on tax incentives and immature carbon markets; geothermal and lithium are balanced options; natural hydrogen is strategically aligned but immature. Challenges include permitting, resource ownership, environmental monitoring, long-term liabilities, and social acceptance.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本では石油元売り・資源開発企業が脱炭素時代の事業ポートフォリオ転換を迫られる中、地熱・水素・CCSは国のGX推進戦略やエネルギー基本計画とも直結する。既存の上流技術を活かした多角化の評価枠組みは、国内資源企業の移行戦略立案に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
Globally, this speaks to transition finance and the credibility of oil and gas transition strategies under ISSB/TCFD disclosure, where firms must demonstrate diversification beyond legacy hydrocarbons. The compatibility matrix offers a structured way to assess which low-carbon resources genuinely align with existing capabilities versus those requiring new business models.

📄 Abstract（原文）
This study proposes the concept of Co-exploration as a diversification strategy that enables oil and gas (O&G) companies to leverage their geoscientific capabilities to jointly assess multiple resources, such as geothermal energy, natural hydrogen, lithium in brines, geological storage, and deep-sea mining. Those resources share a reliance on traditional upstream capabilities, including geological mapping, geophysical data acquisition and interpretation, reservoir characterization, modeling techniques, risk analysis, drilling, operations in remote environments, and the management of complex projects. A compatibility matrix was developed to summarize how well these alternatives fit a Co-exploration strategy. Alternatives such as CCS and CO2-EOR stand out for their technical and operational synergies with O&G upstream operations; however, they rely on tax incentives and an immature carbon market. Conversely, geothermal energy (EGS) and lithium production from brines represent more balanced alternatives for a Co-exploration strategy, combining geoscientific synergies, environmental and climate compatibility. Natural hydrogen offers strong strategic alignment but faces low technological maturity and market uncertainties. Finally, deep-sea mining emerges as the least viable alternative, despite its strategic appeal regarding the supply of critical elements. However, applying legacy O&G methods and tools is not straightforward. Alternative projects can differ from O&G projects in investment scale, time horizons, and risk-return profiles. There are also challenges associated with permitting, resource ownership, environmental and monitoring requirements, long-term liabilities, and social acceptance.
