by Economic Risk
80 Million
(1) Development Activity targeting primarily
conventional proved undeveloped reserves aimed at
conversion to proved developed producing
status. (2) Exploitation Activity targeting
shale plays known to be hydrocarbon bearing with
principal project risk is ability to
establish commercial development. (3)
Exploration Activity targeting discovery of
reserves from previously untested formations with
significant geological and commercial risk
present.
