Sensitivity of Drilling Economics to Oil and Natural Gas Prices

These four sensitivity plots are just a small sample of the ecomomic analysis that we have performed for oil and gas shale plays.  We have literally hundreds of economic analysis dating back over the past 10 years, which provides strong insight on the evolution of tecnology, techniques, costs, and well performance.  We use up-to-date assessments to not only evaluate current rates of return, , but to also compare with the historical record, which gives us unparalled insight into the power of technological improvement across the industry.

The sensitivities below reflect the oil and gas prices needed to achieve a 20% AFIT assuming all else is equal (capex, opex, production taxes, royalties, etc.).  This approach has proved particularly powerful in forecasting oil and gas prices, and in projecting, which parts of which plays are going to be the most active going forward.
