vaga,

Diesel prices have fallen significantly since last year, so their costs should have fallen off a bit. Although I might be considered a touch optimistic (har, har!), I'm OK with this estimate, for the moment:-



Having said that, it'll be years and years before they actually make a profit (NB. I mean profit, not positive cashflow). The depreciation, capitalized exploration and development write-offs they'll have to expense on the half a billion dollars raised over the past few years, will devour any operating surpluses for a long time.
