Question

An oil well is currently producing 30 bbl/day under natural flow (active water drive). The analysis of inflow performance curve reveals that installing an electrical submersible pump at a cost of $50,000 will increase the production to 35 bbl/day. It is expected that, under natural flow the production will continue at the same rate over a period of 15 years. If we use an electrical submersible pump, the production will continue only for eight years and the salvage value is $5,000. If we assume that the net revenue under natural flow conditions is $20/bbl and the net revenue with electrical submersible pumps is $15/bbl, which option is preferable? Assume the MROR to be 12%.
