The global oil industry spent $3.5 Trillion, or $500 billion per year on average, for 2006 to 2012 inclusive of upstream (exploration and production) costs. ��
For 2006 to 2012 inclusive, global "actual crude oil" production averaged 73.7 mbpd, versus 73.6 mbpd in 2005. �� So it took $3.5 TRILLION DOLLARS of exploration expense�� to increase average daily oil production by 100,000 bpd. That is $35 MILLION dollars for each barrel of daily production increase. Source: ASPO-USA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
