“additional amounts”
$627,000,000 NPV10 for the Corvette Prospect

Price per barrel is a variable in the Prospect’s Profit Margin calculation, and any price increase, as you can see, can be material in a well becoming “Commercial”.
Also, Oil and Gas Operators are at an advantage due to oil prices being below $100/bbl. There is a significant decline in overall drilling costs, since there are fewer operators in the Gulf of Mexico. Lower Operating costs increase Profit Margins making a well more viable for production.
