Fag packet analysis of Cuda :
Jan 26th loan $9M with repayments of $200k/month from May,
then $400k/month from August.
Cuda Q1 avg.347bopd & netback $23, so c.$240k/month
& maintained at roughly that level for 5 months (albeit a small increase in WTI)
July 26th (1800gross) giving 490net, c.$340K/month.
So, guessing c.$60k short for the August 1st loan repayment of $400k.
August 7th lender gives extra $4M, but wants a sale by Oct.31st.
Aug 17th (2106gross) 575bopd net, giving c.$395k..
Q3 then rises from the mid August 2106bopd gross to say, 2500gross,
Cuda then clear $470K/month, using same $23 netback, from WTI $58
(WTI almost $68 throughout Q2; royalties & taxes will take a wee slice of that)
Can be seen that the senior loan is almost being accommodated But that there was generally very little left over for any field cost contributions. Payment was made on Jan 26th to the operator (Copl) against the outstanding joint interest billings (possibly the $2.254M unrealised gain). This perhaps entertained some of the then outstanding joint billings but AM then incorporated the x5 gas injection which perhaps necessitated the additional $4M loan.
2022 Q1 est. 5000bopd gross from the RS CPR, so Cuda could then be sitting with c.$1M/month revenues, possibly higher as the netback increases.
At the right price, could be very attractive.
(a Machiavellian play needed perhaps..)
