INVESTMENTS MADE
Industry is capital intensive and high risk
So far, risk capital invested in seismic surveys, exploratory and appraisal drilling
to a total of US$1.7 billion
Sharp increase in investment after first discovery
This is significant investment and will rise to many fold with further investments
expected in field development, production of the crude oil, processing and
transportation facilities
The costs incurred in the sector in the country so far are classified as Finding
Costs
Means the costs of finding commercial reserves of oil in USD per barrel
On the global scale, the finding costs range between $5 - $25 per barrel
