Suppose that a decision maker has the opportunity to invest in an oil well drilling operation that has a .3 chance of yielding a profit of $1,000,000, a. 4 chance of yielding a profit of $400,000, and a .3 chance of yielding a profit of -$100,000. Also, suppose that the decision maker's utilities for $400,000 and $0 are.9 and .7. Find the expected utility of the oil well drilling operation. Find the expected utility of not investing. What should the...

Discuss some of the following: What are the costs and benefits to an oil company when it comes to drilling for oil? What are the opportunity costs to the company when drilling for oil? What are the costs and benefits to society of lower or higher prices of oil? What is the opportunity cost to society of tighter environmental restrictions on the production of oil? How and why does the price of oil change over time? Why does it tend...

6. An oil wildcatter owns drilling rights at two widely separated locations. After consulting a geologist, he feels that at each location the odds against discovering oil if a well is drilled are 9 to 1. A well costs $100,000 to drill, and this is a total loss if no oil is found. On the other hand, if oil is discovered, rights to the oil can be sold for $1,600,000. The wildcatter has $100,000 available for drilling expenses. Find the...

An oil company is drilling a series of new wells on the perimeter of a producing oil field. About 40% of the new wells will be dry. Even if a new well strikes oil, there is still uncertainty about the amount of oil produced: 30% of new wells which strike oil produce only 3,000 barrels a week; 70% produce 40,000 barrels a week. (a) Forecast the annual revenues from a new perimeter well. Use a future oil price of $100...

A company is considering drilling a development well. Wellsite preparation, drilling and testing of the well is expected to cost $2.2 million. Completion of the well and the field equipment necessary to get the well ready for production (wellhead, tubing, flowline, etc.) would cost $1.4 million. Company geologists have suggested that there is a 20% probability that the well will be dry. If that is the case, abandonment and reclamation costs would be $150,000. In the event the well is...

Problem S. An oil company conducts a geological study that indicates that an exploratory oil well should have a 25% chance of striking oil. Assume that chances of striking oil between wells are independent (a) What is the probability that the first strike comes on the third well drilled? (b) What is the probability that the third strike comes on the fifth well drilled? (c) What is the mean and variance of the number of wells that must be drilled...

Several Democratic Presidential candidates have promised to ban oil drilling on federal lands and waters. (1) Using supply-and-demand graphs, graph and explain what would happen to the price of oil if the US stops drilling on federal lands. (2) Using what you know about oil production, explain why the immediate impact of a drilling ban would not be the same as long term impacts. (3) The US produces about 12 million barrels of oil per day and consumes about 22...
