Interesting. "By far the most visible of the possibilities has to be the Alaska projects. Significant production increases in Alaska are expected after 2020. Of all the projects listed, this one has the most potential to place the company back on the production growth track." Wonder if they are after some more Alaskan projects.
Just found out that there is also a "creaming curve" in oil and gas - A creaming curve is a diagram used to present the relationship between aggregated or cumulative resource growth from discoveries and wells drilled. It was first coined by Shell International. Many times the bigger discoveries in any basin, play or area (the cream) are made early in the exploration history.
Good find re EOG newanda, all sounds very familiar, even down to there CEO saying "there can be no guarantee that the current negotiations will lead to completed agreements"!
Good results announced by OSH for pikka wells overnight. Interesting comment by Peter botten at end regarding cooperation discussions with other North slope operators.
