>>Anyone know what wildcat oil well success rates are?<<

Wandered over to the SI oil patch and found this, apparently taken from an analysis of Anadarko Petroleum Corp by Paine Webber. Don't know if this is typical for their industry or not.


APC has "an enlarged exploration lease inventory in the vicinity of it's Alpine field discovery in
Alaska as the result of the recent National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska federal lease sale". The
recent GOM sub-salt discoveries added 20% to APC's proved reserves and with expanded
drilling could add even more to proved reserves. 4 additional sub-salt prospects have been slated for drilling in 1999. These projects are still considered "wildcat exploration prospect that
management assigns no more than a 35% chance of success."
