microeconomics
on a small scale, microeconomics focuses on particular aspects of economics such as, supply, demand and prices of goods under various conditions

what are the stages of cumulative cost profile vs time
exploration delineation, project build phase and drilling, initial operating phase, plateau production and field life extension
5 of 13
stages of cumulative income vs time
exploration delineation, project build and phase drilling, initial operating phase, plateau production
6 of 13
what is CAPEX
Capital expenditures
7 of 13
what is OPEX
Operating expenditures
