Revenue, Capex, Opex
Revenue: production profile, gas/oil price CAPEX: Are one-time costs occurring at the beginning of projects. They can be classified by purpose: exploration costs, appraisal costs, development costs. They can be classified by purchased items: facility costs, drilling costs, pipeline costs. OPEX: are necessary for day-to-day operations and occur periodically. They consist of feedstocks, utilities,
