In all industries, including the mineral and petroleum industries, economic analysis of potential investment projects is done to select the projects that will give maximum future value from the investment of available capital. Economic analysis refers to evaluation of the profit generating potential of projects. Discounted cash flow analysis is one method for economic analysis. This technique analyzes inflows and outflows of money over the life of the project. Cash flow definitions and calculation assumptions, escalation and inflation, uncertainty and risk, cash investment versus leveraged investment analysis and important economic analysis situations are discussed.
