    exploration carries risk .........

    so EMV is a reasonable method to assess value .......

    in Oz - most of the fields are smallish ......say 2-5mm bbl.'s .......risk circa 30-40%.......cost (onshore 3-7m)......

    in shale / CSM type plays - resource is stated as % Rf * GIP / sq km's (or metric equiv)........HOWEVER - the flow rate per well and EUR/well have a range of outcomes ......so its a distribution curve ................

    there are quite a few good stufies in the USA to highlight this ........

    http://www.aie.org.au/AIE/Documents/APPEA-Cost-Report_Final.pdf

    this is quite old - but does show how costs escalated with OP .........

    the "development costs" are irrelevant .........(b/c it depends on what the stuff is and what scale (ie export vs dom market) .......

    the "F" part of the curve highlights the maturity of Oz exploration .........
