During the year ended 30 June 20X5, Gem Stone Ltd acquired two areas of interest Site A and Site B. The exploration and evaluation activities at Site A amounted to $64454401. The costs relate to the acquisition of rights to explore the area, geological and geophysical studies as well as exploratory drilling and sampling. The exploration and evaluation activities at Site B amounted to $11438859. In the year ending 30 June 20X6, oil was discovered at Site A. It is estimated that Site A has 4823866 barrels of oil. As a result, Gem Stone Ltd erected an oil rig at Site A on 1 July 20X6. The cost of the oil rig amounted to $15716713. The oil rig commenced production on 1 July 20X6. At the end of the production at Site A, Gem Stone is required to dismantle the oil rig, remove it and return the site to its original condition. After consulting with its own engineers and environmentalists, Diamond estimates that the present value of the removal and restoration costs relating to the development and construction activities will be $6846213.
