Geološko-ekonomski esej: " ... koordinirani napori svih zainteresiranih subjekata svjesnih sebe, svojih interesa, svojih mogućnosti i svoje odgovornosti..." (PLETIKAPIĆ, 1988)

Abstract

"... Since the very concept o f exploration is, in the strict sense, related to the first phase of the cycle o f preparation of discovered reserves, in other words the prognosis of undiscovered reserves, it is an integral part of prospecting for the hydrocarbon pools which incorporates the phase of recognition and the phase of prospection, ending with the act of discovery, naturally, only in the area of a newly discovered pool. .. The need for constant improvement of one' s own methodology of prognosis of distribution and value of undiscovered oil and gas reserves is unquestionable... The exploration for hydrocarbon deposits can take and affirm it 's position and role in the sphere of material production only providing the following condition is met: that the explorers themselves, consciously limit their right to make mistakes by finding out and respecting the rules of rational exploration procedure. Above all, this is to be done by conscious removal of all of the veils of mist that are drawn over one's work and by making conditions for the objective economic valuation of one's own products - the already discovered reserves of mineral deposits... (PLETIKAPIĆ, 1988).The chosen concise passages are taken fr m the deliberate works of Dr. Živko Pletikapić (1928- 1990). Distinguished scientist and esteemed professional of Croatian petroleum geology. They presented then, and are presenting even more this very moment, exceptionally valuable contributions to the improvement of modern geologic-economical concepts within the systematic approach towards the managing or the process of oil and gas exploration in Croatia. This is the very skeleton and also the starting point of this presentati on.
