Kerm, here's some research on the participants and a little background info on the play. We combed back the discovery size to 800 million BOE. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

PARTICIPANT OVERVIEW - EAST LOST HILLS PROSPECT JULY 23, 1998

The Play:
Located in the San Joaquin basin of California, this region is one of the most prolific producing onshore areas in North America. The estimated ultimate reserve recovery exceeds 15 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE). There are eight fields that will produce more than 300 MILLION BOE each and three larger than a BILLION BOE.
The East Lost Hills prospect is a 20,000 acre property located near Bakersfield. Estimates of reservoir size are based on assessments of the structure, which is 14 miles long and two miles wide. Prospect potential is 1.2 Billion BOE recoverable. A successful exploration program would make this one of the largest onshore discoveries of the decade, and exploitation of the field would include up to 100 development wells.


Following is a brief discussion of the involved companies, their corporate information and structures. The following assumptions are based on a successful drill, discovering 800 million BOE recoverable, then subtracting 25% for royalties and other expenses:
