Ok, let's put it this way. Say if all the oil in alberta was extracted, nothing left. What will happen to these giant truck, huge equipment for oil extraction? They just destroy them right away, or just give it away? No, they'll either reuse them somewhere else or sell them for money. So the cost of these equipment will come back to these oil company somehow. Other than that, the depreciation of these equipement will be count in operating cost every year. So operating cost does include every single penny spent on the oil.

That's a price which the company can gain back the money initially invested on the equipment, even before they sell these equipment. So if they sell oil at this price (include capital cost), when the oil is taken all out, although they didn't make any money on selling oil, they can still sell these equipment and make money. You see what I mean?

I still think the operating cost and the capital cost are different things. The operating cost doesn't include the capital cost.
