RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:SpudHey waitingstill, Do you have any numbers on the E&P (exploration and production) costs? If they hit oil and test the well cost could be upwards of 80 million. Sounds like a lot but if they find say 300 million barrels then that's about 8/30ths of a dollar per barrel or about 27 cents per barrel. I have no idea of production costs including tax royalties. I wonder what Exxon/Hess/CNOOC are paying. The reason I ask is that there was a comment that the oil is worth $2 per barrel in the ground. That sounds way low.
