RE: Brent Crude up today.18 Feb 2025 14:25
Mongolia need 30,000 bopd every day for the refinery to run at 100% capacity, they need wells drilled ASAP as you cannot magic up wells the month before the refinery needs the oil, invariably wells do not deliver their full potential right out of the box, often as not remedial tweaks are required to get the well flowing at best capacity, Mongolia can run the refinery at 30 or 40% capacity but their goal is to be self sufficient, they cannot be self sufficient running the refinery at 40% capacity.
Refinery oil requirements as below.
30,000 x 365 = circa 10,950,000 barrels per year.
Crude oil production in Mongolia peaked in 2015 at just under 9 million barrels a year.
In 2022 Mongolia produced around 2.5 million barrels a year.
PC started drilling in TAMSAG Basin in 1995 so high percentage of PC earlier drilled wells are running dry if not already dry, Mongolia need MATAD to get busy, its in Mongolia’s interests to see MATAD drill many many more wells ASAP.
See Mongolia yearly oil production at link below.
