Facilities costs are assumed to be spread evenly over three years. If wells cost $10 mm each and total facilities costs are $1.2 billion, use the software provided ('economic indicators') to calculate Discounted Cash Flow, Net Present Value and PI over 20 years of production assuming an oil price of $100/bbl, a discount rate of 10%, taxation at 40% and inflation at 3%. Plot the results. Use the software provided to determine the real rate of return (RROR)Look at the effect of changing the following (keeping everything else constant)

1. reducing discount rate to 6% 2. decreasing the oil price to $80/bbl3. increasing facilities costs to $ 1.8 billion
