That was an excellent explanation.. and made perfect sense...thank you!

Maybe the risks that come with offshore wells is the great equalizer (I'm thinking of a BP magnitude spill).

I have no way of knowing what a company like BP pays in premiums to a company like Oil Insurance Limited...or if they even have insurance...but I would think offshore co's pay a hefty premium over onshore. ?? And does the offshore conventional reservoir P&P well model only financially work as long as the industry maintains $100 @ BBL oil? I read where domestic shale production could push oil prices down into the $50 @ BBL range. What does that do to offshore risk vs reward?
