Investment Project Analysis
• The results of this evaluation process
are dependent upon the validity and
reliability of the assumptions used in
the analysis.
• Therefore, it is critical that the
assumptions be carefully and
realistically formulated.

Investment Project Analysis
Concepts
Time Value of Money
Present value theory.
This concept states that a dollar today is
worth more than a dollar tomorrow since the
dollar can be invested to earn money in the
interim period.
•Future dollars in cash flow schedules are
therefore discounted.
•The higher the discount rate, the less the
future dollar is worth today.

9
Economic Analysis Concepts
All project economic analysis should be performed based on the
following concepts:
Net cash flow to energy inc.
The cash flow from investment proposals must be analyzed on a
comparable basis in order to determine which proposals have the
greatest economic value to Energy Inc. Therefore all investments should
be evaluated on the basis of after-tax U.S. Dollar cash flow to Energy
Inc. A project's cash flow should include all foreign tax effects, such as
income and remittance taxes, and any U.S. Income tax effects.
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
This is the rate used to discount future project net cash flow. The cost of
capital is the weighted average after-tax cost of debt, preferred and
common stock in Energy Inc.‘s capital structure. The WACC is
calculated by the finance department and issued by the comptroller.

10
Economic Analysis Concepts
Current dollar basis.
All cash flow should be stated in current (nominal) dollars (i.e. actual
amounts which are expected to be expended or received each year).
Current dollar forecasts represent changes due to inflation and any
real price change above or below inflation. The rates used should be
consistent with the most recent forecast provided by corporate.
Foreign currency exchange rates.
Forecasted cash flows based on local currencies should be converted
into U.S. Dollars using current currency exchange rates.

11
Economic Analysis Concepts
Full cycle or full life economics.
• Economic value of an asset that was acquired in the
past and had its value enhanced through additional
investments.
• Results do not represent the current economic value to
the firm since the analysis includes prior investment,
revenue and expenses.
• Results include the benefit of hindsight and are useful
to improve decisions made in the future.

12
Economic Measures
The following four measures are commonly
used in project analysis. Each one provides
important information on the attractiveness of a
project.
• Net Present Value (NPV)
• Present Worth Payout (PWP)
• Discounted Cash Flow Return on Investment
(DCFROI or IRR)
• Present Worth Index (PWI)
© 2005 by Institute for Energy, Law & Enterprise, University of Houston Law Center. All rights reserved.
13
Economic Measures
Net Present Value (NPV)
The net present value is the economic value expected to be
generated by the project at the time of measurement. It
represents the value being added to the Company by making
the investment.
Decision Rule – NPV>0
Limitations
– A larger investment will normally have a larger present value. A ranking
based simply on net present value would therefore tend to favor large
investments over small investments.
– Does not consider length of time to achieve that value.
© 2005 by Institute for Energy, Law & Enterprise, University of Houston Law Center. All rights reserved.
14
Economic Measures
Present worth index (PWI)
PWI measures the relative attractiveness of projects per
dollar of investment. The ratio of the present value of cash
inflows to the present value of the cash outflows.
Designed to address the limitation of NPV cited above .
Limitations.
– It is not a good indicator of the significance of a project.
– Is dependent on cost of capital used. If cost of capital is over or
underestimated could result in selection of wrong project.
© 2005 by Institute for Energy, Law & Enterprise, University of Houston Law Center. All rights reserved.
15
Economic Measures
Present worth payout (PWP)
payout measures the time that the net investment
will be at risk. The longer the payout period, the
more chance for some unfavorable circumstance
to occur.
Limitation:
– Disregards cash flows received after the payout period.
It does not directly measure the value created by the
project.
– Is dependent on cost of capital used.
© 2005 by Institute for Energy, Law & Enterprise, University of Houston Law Center. All rights reserved.
16
Economic Measures
Discounted cash flow return on investment
(DCFROI/IRR).
Measures the efficiency of the project in producing
value without reference to any predetermined cost of
capital. The discount rate which equates the project's
discounted net cash inflows with its discounted net
cash outflows.
Decision rule – IRR>Cost of capital.
Limitation:
– Favors projects with a quick payout or short-term in nature.

represents the value being added to the Company
by making the investment.
PWP
Measures the time that the net investment will be at
risk. The longer the payout period, the more chance
for some unfavorable circumstance to occur. Is also
a value indicator. If a project that is expected to last
10 years has a 3 year payout, then 30% of the
project's life is committed to recouping investment
and 70% is devoted to creating value for the
company.
Only measures the project result up to the time
of payback. Disregards any cash flow received
after payback. Is dependent on cost of capital
used. Is not a measure of risk, only of time.
PWI
Measures the efficiency of invested capital. For
every dollar invested, how efficient is it in producing
value. Best measure for comparing and deciding
between mutually exclusive projects.
Is dependent on cost of capital used. If cost of
capital is over or underestimated could result in
selection of wrong project.
DCFROI Measures the efficiency of the project in producing
value without reference to any predetermined cost of
capital. When compared to the cost of capital
DCFROI can be an indication of how effective a
particular project is in adding value.
There are many reasons why an investment with
a lower DCFROI could be preferred to a higher
one. DCFROI assumes that project cash flows
are reinvested at the same rate of return as the
project generates. Favors projects with a quick
payout or short-term in nature. It is a useful
indicator when considered with the other 3 for
comparing projects.

Economic Measures
Therefore, it is important to use all the
four economic measures (NPV, PWI,
IRR and PWP) for investment project
analysis.

Post Expenditure Review
• The Post-Expenditure Review process monitors the overall
effectiveness of capital investment program. After sufficient
operational results are available, the actual economic
performance of a project is compared with the original
estimate, made at the time the appropriation was submitted.
• The objective of a post expenditure review is to determine
the cause of differences between actual and projected
performance and apply the knowledge gained to future
investment evaluations. A greater understanding of the
reasons for success or failure should result in improved
investment evaluations and, consequently, better decisions.
• Energy Inc’s Projects Requiring Review: Project Gross Cost
exceeds $10 million.

Principal Factors Impacting the Economics
Renegotiated Production Sharing Contract
• The 1974 PSC was being renegotiated by the partners at the
time when the original request
for approval was prepared.
• The amended PSC provided for
a favorable share to the
contractor for the first 115 BSCF
to assist in early recovery of
costs.
• Significant effect on the project
NPV, reducing it by 21% despite
the early-life cost recovery
provision negotiated. Reduction
due to the lower contractor
share during the balance of the
project.

Operating Expenses
•
•
•
The original economics only
included direct operating costs
which have actually been lower
on average during the first three
years of the project.
Current projections track the
original estimates quite closely
in the middle and later years of
the project, while R&A costs
are now projected to be lower.
Operating expenses has
resulted in a reduction of the
NPV by 4.5%.

Conclusions
The project economics were most
significantly impacted by factors that control
the revenue streams – price, sales volume
and production splits and also by the
inflation rate– rather than operational issues
such as CAPEX, OPEX or Start-Up Delays.

Conclusions
The current economics shows that the
Opuamah Gas Field Development Project
has maintained its position as an attractive
investment for Energy Inc. despite the
negative impact on revenues.
