RE: 'Massive Project'/RNS Update THIS Week/NEXT Week!11 Dec 2024 12:25
You might ask why this is reposted, simple, there is only one set of truthful facts, these are detailed below, no matter what Stas, Adw, Epsen, Gust, xx proinvestor etc etc etc want you to believe all the below is checkable, unlike their posts which are works of fiction.
We know two costs. To drill a well costs 1.5 million, we also know the entire cost to bring a well to production is 4 million, To bring a well to production includes 3 processes which are as follows:
1: Drill the well, (1.5 million fact)
2: Well test. (1.25 million est)
3: Completion. (1.25 est)
So fair to say Well test and completion costs 2.5 million. (have estimated 1.25 million for each)
H1 was drilled and well tested in 2019, this year H1 costs were completion only so we could start producing so H1 costs this year around 1.25 million.(note surface completion equip-ment such as beam pump & compressors were onsite before the infamous fund raise so paid for from funds before the raise).
H2 was drilled and well tested, it has not been completed so H2 costs around 2.75 million.
(H2 came in drilled a week early so I would assume slightly lesser cost than above.)
Gobi 1 was drilled, not well tested and not completed so Gobi 1 cost 1.5 million.
Fair to say H1, H2 & Gobi 1 total maximum costs this year around 5.5 million.
If this 5.5 million was paid from the fund raise of 9 million then we have 3.5 million left plus whatever was in the bank at fund raise time less day to day costs, my estimate would be we have 3 million in the bank today.
H1 is now on day 47 of production at circa 250 bbl/d.
250 x 47 x circa $68 = $799,000 (less costs) of oil stored ready to be sold.
Remember we have over 60 million in historical exploration costs to recover, PCs Mongolia deal similar to ours but after reclaiming costs they only paid 24% of oil to Mongolia.
I do not think we need fund raise just now but we do need details on how we will fund 2025 drilling season and remedial works to H2 and GOBI 1, though I would prefer to get a few more wells up and producing in the Heron field before spending cash on GOBI 1. (unless they are certain !!)
As per the 14th November RNS, H1 has the potential to produce at or around 800 bbl/d how-ever it needs a higher pressure rated wellhead to do this safely, quick, straight forward job for April 2025, no doubt our first task along with remedial works to H2, re-perforation has been mentioned by MB, great if that’s all it needs, failing that fracking would probably be on the cards, hydraulic fracturing cracks the formation for several hundreds of metres in a radius around the well so seems likely we would communicate/enter H1 high pressure reservoir and H2 would benefit from that high pressure, sure The Team will be considering this.
Meantime back at the day to day LSE chat board we have the usual trolls beavering away frantically trying to de-stabilize investors and shouting sell, sell, sell, sounds like they are worried, guess their plan i
