Been having a look at the graphs in the presentation. These are the approximate numbers from the base case graph. Capex, profit after tax, net cash flow and NPV. All numbers in million usd. NPV is calculated from the net cash flow discounted by 10% for each year in the future. Bear in mind this is for the 10 well model only. The full field development will be 30+ wells.
Year,,,,,,,Capex,,,,,,,Profit,,,,,,,Net CF,,,,,,,NPV
2024,,,,,,,,40,,,,,,,,,,,,,,20,,,,,,,,,,- 20,,,,,,,,,,,- 18
2025,,,,,,,,25,,,,,,,,,,,,,,35,,,,,,,,,,,,,10,,,,,,,,,,,,,,8.1

2031,,,,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,14,,,,,,,,,,,,,14,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,6.0
2032,,,,,,,,,0,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,10,,,,,,,,,,,,,10,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,3.9
Total,,,,,,,125,,,,,,,,,,,,242,,,,,,,,,,117,,,,,,,,,,,,,58.6
The Total NPV is pretty close to that in the presentation of 58.3.
A couple of comments. The first year Capex is 40 million. Does this mean they plan to drill 4 wells in the first year? Or are there other infrastructure costs. The break even point is in the fourth year. All the Capex is in the first 4 years. After that, it is all profit.
Of course if all goes well, the full field development will go ahead and they will be drilling more wells before the profit begins to decline and also more Capex. The overall NPV will be much greater.
Of course this is all for the base case. If results were to move even part way to the Upside case, returns could be much greater.
The cash flow in the early years emphasises why they need a really good jv dealm
Will post the upside numbers later.
