    I've been thinking (always a bit dangerous). But ever since I saw that a low cost of $23 a Barrel is possible for SNE, I've been thinking what is required to get us to $1 a share (AUD).

    Either its Higher POO or more oil. But how much? So I thought I'd throw a few calcs in a simple spreadsheet - Assumptions that won't necessarily be the same:
    (1) we have 3.693 Billion shares on issue
    (2) exchange rate is 1 US buys 1.4 AUD
    (3) our share is 15%.

    So can we be profitable at $30? Yes at the lower end of the possible cost scale - we'd be up $7 a barrel. To get to $1 a share we'd theoretically need to find 2.5 billion barrels overall (our share about 376 million). Sounds big, but shale are currently hedging their 2017 contracts at $45 a barrel and we won't be online for a few years later when prices should be higher. If we can get $15 a barrel profit, we only need to find 1.17 billion barrels (our share at 175 million) and it really seems to get interesting.

    It can't be so simple can it? I must be missing something. Let me know where I'm going wrong? I'll be watching the upgraded resource figures with interest in coming weeks.
