I am sorry but you don’t begin to understand the industry if you think you captured even half the cost including your “overestimations”.

On average, it costs ConocoPhillips $15.48 to produce a barrel of oil in Alaska compared to $12.32 per barrel in Canada, $10.24 per barrel in the Lower 48 and $10.15 per barrel in the North Sea. The companys production in the Middle East costs $6.98 per barrel, Kah said.
Like I commented, $86 dollars a barrel seems a tad high for Bakken oil.
From the article: The North Dakota Industrial Commission, Department of Mineral Resources, has released a new and higher average cost for drilling and completing Bakken wells in North Dakota.
