The basin is mature with an average discovery size of just 18 mmboe over the last decade, and prospective resource is just a tiny fraction of discovered volumes. Despite most of the volumes discovered being commercial, cost overruns and delays have plagued development, resulting in significant full-cycle value destruction over the last decade. However, exploration performance has improved since 2015 and provides reason to be optimistic; the average discovery size has increased, and a larger proportion of volumes is considered commercial.
