That may be true but I am seeing much better success rates than this from many players. I've owned ESNJ before presently have no position. Regards

Iso,

10% was the norm for exploration success 10-15 years ago. Today 60-70% is considered good. What I couldn't understand is why ESNJ would have increased production and a decline in annualized cash flow. Did they have bad hedges? As you know, exploration expenses are not included in the calculation of cash flow.
