E&P refers to an exploration and production company, which deals with the location and production of oil and gas. Also known as the upstream sector of the energy industry, E&P consists of four stages that begin with identifying deposits of oil and gas underground. Often, this involves an underground search for shale formations, which refer to deposits of fine-grained sedimentary rock that are rich with natural gas and oil.
