The basis of economic evaluation of any proposed drilling venture—a new field, pool, or just a single well—is the ''cash flow model'' of investments, expenses, taxes, and wellhead revenues involved with the project. The values for the parameters in this model must come from a geotechnical analysis (including maps, cross sections, and reservoir analysis) of the anticipated new field or well and from geotechnical estimates of area, ultimate recoverable reserves, and projected well production schedules. Here are the general data that are required:
