Question 8/21

A month has passed since you submitted the report requested by William Seaton, Director of Finance on the Board's proposals.
You have received the following email:
From: William Seaton, Director of Finance
To: Finance Manager
Subject: Shale oil
Hi,
One of the geologists made a presentation to the Board, proposing that we investigate the extraction of shale oil deposits. I have attached the slides that were used as the basis for this presentation.
I need you to work on a response to this document:
* Firstly, what risks do you envisage in our entry to the shale oil business?
* Secondly, what do you regard as the key factors that we should consider when deciding on proceeding with this proposal? Please justify your selection.
* Thirdly, what factors should we take into account when deciding on which country or countries to commence this side of the business?
* Finally, what are the challenges in creating a team of technical staff to lead our efforts in this area?
William
