Working paper: Jojarth develops empirical model for oil production costs

FSI Stanford, CDDRL, PESD News

What does it cost to produce a barrel of oil? CDDRL research associate and PESD affiliate Christine Jojarth provides a systematic answer to this question, taking into account geography, the "difficulty" of the oil field, and other factors. The results help quantify how much extra revenue is flowing to oil producers worldwide.
