“What does that translate to in, say, barrels and barrels per day”
About 1200 barrels a day which is quite respectable. About 120,000 dollars a day. Note, this is the discovery well and as they define the field there may be better wells in the field. Put a platform in and drill multiple wells from it. The real question is how big is the field.
1200 barrels a day is worth drilling for.
Its small potatoes
82 million tons is enough oil to supply the USA for about 2 months. A big discovery if youre in the oil businees, but on a grand scale its not very important.
