This is my own calculation, to have a ball-park figure (amount in billion US$ involved ).
Assuming:
- Petroleum Sharing Contract (Model PSC, https://www.staatsolie.com/media/tuvjyme3/model-psc.pdf; Average R-factor 1,25.
- 300 million barrels reserves Maka (Woodmack 2020)
- 300 million barrels reserves Sapakara
- 300 million barrels reserves Kwaskwasi
- 70 US$ / barrel, when entering production phase, somewhere 2027.
- Economics run

Some 60 billion US$ Gross Revenue.
From Maka Central, Sapakara and Kwaskwasi discoveries (2020).
