Cover Story

As So Exploration looks ahead, its future vision is centered on continual growth and adaptation to dynamic markets.

About So Exploration:

Addressing Challenges by Strategic Solutions

Tristan’s leadership approach involves treating everyone with the same respect he expects, motivating his team by listening to and addressing any problems or concerns they may have, and giving employees the freedom to work without constant oversight. At So Exploration, effective communication takes precedence. Tristan and his team engage in daily conversations with partners and operators, send regular email updates, and conduct monthly Zoom meetings to comprehensively address any questions or concerns.

Revamping the company’s social media and community engagement to give back, Tristan prefers to stay more involved with every department. He has also improved online lead campaigns to boost internet sales and cut paper lead costs. Tristan believes the main challenge facing the oil and gas industry is the shortage of workers due to insufcient new entrants. This results in prolonged delays in rig deployment. Recognizing the current circumstances, companies must adapt and actively motivate and recruit new talent to address this issue.

Tristan balances each day by beginning his mornings with 30 minutes of goal-setting. He follows this with a power hour before anyone else arrives at the ofce, enabling him to accomplish his most important tasks. At the end of the day, he strives to leave work behind. If he does bring tasks home, he ensures to wrap everything up by 7 pm. Then, he takes a leisurely walk to wind down, allowing him to reect on the day’s achievements and challenges.

Naoshima Island, located in the Seto Inland Sea, is known for its contemporary architecture, museums, and sculptures. It is a part of Kagawa Prefecture. The island with its Mediterranean atmosphere, sandy beaches, and sunny weather, has a relaxing rural feel which is a perfect getaway from Japan's daily hustle and bustle in the urban areas. The majority of the art in Naoshima is installed by Benesse Corporation, which controls art museums, and sculptures both on Naoshima and on neighboring islands. Although spread across 8 square kilometers only, the island is home to art maestros. It includes works by experts in contemporary art, impressionist paintings, and architecture such as Yayoi Kusama, Claude Monet, Tadao Anto, and James Turrell.

How to Reach

NAOSHIMA ISLAND?

You'll need to take a ferry to Naoshima island.The island can be reached from two ports: Miyanoura Port which is on the west side of the island and Honmura Port on the east side.The ferries to Naoshima Island depart fromTakamatsu Port in Kagawa and Uno Port in Okayama. Electric-assist bicycles are available for rent at Miyanoura Port to have a stroll around the port. Bicycles are not allowed to go to Benesse HouseArea. Local buses ply from Miyanoura Port to Tsutsujiso. From there, free shuttle buses to Benesse House Museum, Lee Ufan Museum, and ChichuArt Museum are available.

Naoshima Island

Similar to many other parts of Japan, Naoshima was on the way to a decline. A futuristic project led it to turn into an “art island”. Post then, it has transformed into a world-class travel destination for artinclined travelers all over the world. Renting a bicycle and riding beside the coastline of Naoshima is a lifetime experience. The Seto inland sea on one side and the beautiful and unspoiled nature on the other side is a calming experience. Some of the biggest names of the contemporary art scene and the breathtaking landscape every here and there is a scenic view to witness.

The project to turn Naoshima into an art island began in 1985. At the same time, the local authorities were approached by Tetsuhiko Furutake, CEO of Benesse Corporation. It is a powerhouse that focuses on the education and publishing industries. He had the foresight to turn the island into a world-class art hub, and the mayor agreed to the pathbreaking idea. The globally famous Tadao Ando has been a key person in this project since the early days. In 1989, he supervised the development of the Naoshima International Camp. This was when the rst iconic art pieces were brought to the island, one of them being Karel Appel's sculpture, “Frog and Cat

Of course not. The Godfather. The legend. The man behind some of the most legendary movies of all time. He is regarded as one of the very best in cinematic history. The journey he has been through is incredible. The lms which came to his share are some of the best lms ever created and he, of course, did justice to every character he played. A nine-time Oscar nominee and also Academy Award winner with a career of more than 50 years. From Scarface to Scent of a Woman, the variety of movies he has acted in is humongous. The limitless ability to mold into characters and give out the best performances is remarkable. Out of the many hits, we've managed to chart out the top 10 Al Pacino movies of all time:

Need we say more AL PA CINO ?

All Parts

The Godfather is the classic mixture of crime and family drama at the same time. A cinematic masterpiece, it introduces the Corleone family in style. Marlon Brando does all he can to take care of the business side of his family. Al Pacino is a supporting character who ends up being the head of the family. Though an old one, the movie still depicts his best acting to date. In the list of Al Pacino movies, this has to be on the top.

Fact Check

Pacino's grandparents came to the United States from Corleone, Sicily- so did his Godfather character Michael Corleone's father, Vito.

Run time: 2h 36m

Director: Martin Brest

(1992)

Throughout his victorious journey, Al Pacino got only a single Oscar award, which was for his lm Scent of a Woman. In the movie, he plays a retired U.S. Army ofcer who is also blind. The movie revolves around the organic bond that forms between him and a college-going student, played by Chris O'Donnell, who takes up a temporary job as a caregiver. A compelling drama lm worth watching for the fact that it's Pacino's Oscar win.

The Panic in Needle Park (1971)

Director: Jerry Schatzberg

The movie revolves around the struggle of a young couple based in New York City who are both addicted to heroin. It is a love story but simultaneously it's a very serious and dramatic one. It may not necessarily feel romantic. The movie holds up as an intense outlook on severe addiction issues. Right from the start of his career, Al Pacino's movies have been stellar.

Fact Check: Before the acting bug bit him, Pacino wanted to be a baseball player.

Run Time: 2h 40m

Run Time: 1h 50m

Though a fairly small role, between a cameo and a supporting role, it is still a great movie. As the director Quentin Tarantino plans to retire soon, it's marvelous that these two got to work with one another within the American lm industry. Pacino's scenes are entertaining to watch and the movie as a whole is a wonderful depiction of Hollywood. Also, the last half hour of the movie turns into something of a fairy tale, a graphically violent one.

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Crime seems to be Pacino's favorite genre, as he seems the most comfortable when he is in such movies. He is the best when it comes to playing gangsters or criminals in general. He plays a member of the gang in this one. He befriends an undercover FBI agent played by Johnny Depp. The drama of the lm revolves around how this agent becomes conicted over what to do after he takes a liking to the mob lifestyle. Al Pacino movies have failed very rarely.

Fact Check: There are reports that the actor suffered from Chronic Insomnia due to professional and personal reasons.

Director: Mike Newell | Run Time: 2h 7m

One of the best movies of the 1990s, Glengarry Glen Ross is a movie wherein men are howling at each other for about two hours, but in an enthralling way. It is a movie that has a bunch of talented stars, which means Al Pacino doesn't stand out quite as much. It is a compelling dialogue-heavy movie like the trend that prevailed in the past decades.

Director: James Foley | Run Time: 1h 40m

Al Pacino has starred in a series of absolutely exemplary lms throughout the 1970s, and Serpico is one of them. It is a real-life story of Frank Serpico, a New York City cop who became famous as he stood up for the prevailing corruption in his line of work. Doing so puts him in immense physical danger in the lm. As always, Pacino is completely drowned in the role. The lmmaking process makes Serpico look realistic and it emerges as one of the grittiest crime/drama movies of the decade. Real-life stories depicted in Al Pacino movies seem to the story is about himself, and doesn't seem like a real-life character.

Fact Check: Except for director, Francis Coppola, no one in the unit wanted Pacino to be in the lm, including himself.

Director: Sidney Lumet Run Time: 2h Serpico (1973)

Few movies of Al Pacino come across as explosive performances given by Al Pacino. This movie does just this, as Pacino gets to play a scary and evil antagonist and is having a blast doing so. In the movie, he owns a law rm in New York City and the character of Keanu Reeves grasps real quickly. She learns rsthand what the boss is capable of. The movie has elements of supernatural horror and law-related drama to add to the effect.

(1997)

Director: Taylor Hackford

Director: Martin Scorsese

Run Time: 3h 29m

The Irishman was something of a mixed blessing. It can't get better than the advertised trio of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci. Later conrmed, that this was their last project together. The Irishman follows the true story of Jimmy Hoffa (Pacino), a trainer trade unionist, and his bodyguard Frank Sheeran (De Niro). Due to the casting, it is counted as one of the best Al Pacino movies.

Run Time: 2h 37m

Director: Michael Mann

Al Pacino and Russell Crowe had come together for this phenomenal semi-ctionalized drama. The movie centered on the real story of Jeffery Wigand, a tobacco industry inltrator. Al Pacino's depiction of CBS producer Lowell Bergman is as authentic as it is genuine. The Insider remains as stirring as it was 24 years ago. It wins at the core values of journalistic integrity by separating fact from ction, no exception in Al Pacino movies.

The audience that has witnessed Al Pacino movies has been loyal to him. Pacino has been successful in pushing his boundaries by opting for various genres of lms. As mentioned before, he is the best when the crime genre exists. He gets into the skin of the character well. The grappling thrillers to intense dramas, he has demonstrated a remarkable range. Beyond movies, he has also made signicant contributions to the world of theatre. He has received immense recognition for his performances in both classic and contemporary stage productions.

Crystal Pepsi was a clear cola beverage produced by PepsiCo. It was introduced in 1992 and discontinued in 1994 due to low sales. The soda was later relaunched temporarily in 2017 to capitalize on 90s nostalgia. Crystal Pepsi was marketed as a new and unique product, different from regular Pepsi. It had a lighter and less sweet taste, was clear, caffeine-free, and made with all-natural avors and no preservatives. The goal was to capture a portion of the retail soft drink market without harming the agship Pepsi product.

Crystal Pepsi faced several challenges that ultimately led to its failure in the market. Here are the reasons that led to product failure.

One of the key reasons for Crystal Pepsi's failure was the lack of a well-dened target audience. While the brand positioned itself as a healthier cola option, it failed to identify the specic group of consumers it aimed to attract. This lack of focus resulted in confusion among consumers, who were unsure if the product was intended for them.

Crystal Pepsi faced direct competition from Tab Clear, a clear cola introduced by Coca-Cola. Tab Clear was strategically marketed under the Tab brand name, avoiding the potential negative backlash associated with Coca-Cola. This move created confusion in the market and diluted Crystal Pepsi's unique selling proposition.

Crystal Pepsi was marketed as having a taste similar to regular Pepsi. However, some consumers found the avor lacking compared to their expectations. This discrepancy between the marketing promises and the actual taste of the product led to disappointment and a reluctance to repurchase.

Crystal Pepsi's marketing and positioning faced challenges. The brand tried to position itself as a healthier alternative, but this message was not effectively communicated to consumers. The marketing campaign lacked a clear and compelling message that resonated with the target audience, further contributing to the product's failure.

Crystal Pepsi had a shorter shelf life compared to traditional colas. This limited its availability and potential for widespread distribution. The shorter shelf life, combined with the lack of a clear target audience and effective marketing, hindered the product's ability to gain traction in the market.

The failure of Crystal Pepsi provides valuable marketing insights and key takeaways for businesses.

Clear and Dened Target Audience: Crystal Pepsi's failure highlights the importance of identifying and understanding the target audience. It is crucial to have a clear understanding of who the product is intended for and to tailor the marketing efforts accordingly. By dening the target audience, businesses can develop focused marketing strategies that resonate with their intended customers.

Consistent Brand Positioning: Crystal Pepsi's positioning as a healthier cola option was not effectively communicated to consumers. Consistency in brand positioning is essential to build trust and create a distinct identity in the market. Marketers should ensure that the messaging aligns with the product's attributes and deliver a consistent brand experience across all touchpoints.

Manage Expectations: Crystal Pepsi faced challenges in meeting consumers' taste expectations. Businesses should be mindful of setting accurate expectations through their marketing efforts. Transparent communication about the product's features and taste can help manage consumer expectations and avoid disappointment.

Effective Messaging: Crystal Pepsi's marketing campaign lacked a clear and compelling message. Marketers should craft impactful messaging that conveys the product's unique value proposition and resonates with the target audience. It is essential to communicate the product's benets concisely and persuasively to capture consumers' attention.

Adaptability and Agility: Crystal Pepsi faced competition from Tab Clear, which created confusion in the market. Businesses should be adaptable and agile to respond to market changes and competition effectively. Regular monitoring of the market landscape and competitor activities can help businesses make timely adjustments to their marketing strategies.

Market Research and Testing: Conducting thorough market research and testing can provide valuable insights into consumer preferences and potential barriers to adoption. Businesses should invest in market research and conduct product testing to gather feedback and make informed decisions before launching a new product.
