Hi Wolf. The problem seems to me to be that the market simply does not believe that the new wells will produce commercially successful flow rates.
After all there has previously been no successful fracking in India due to the different geology. Roland seems confident that the new fracking methodology has solved the problem but until it has been demonstrated to work the market ain't having it. Hopefully that will change later this
year .
If we assume Roland's earlier forcast of 8 mmscfd by the end of the year, we get as follows.
8 mmscfd at $8 per MCF gives $64,000 per day. Each mmscfd gives 40 BOPD. So that's 320 BOPD at say $80 per barrel or $25,600 per day. A total of
$89,600 per day. That's £70k a day coming in or £2.1 million per month. A million quid a month in revenue to Syn. So yes your numbers are pretty much on the money.
Things to bear in mind are that by the time that production level is reached the 18 month PSC will br coming to an end so Syn will start to pay half the production costs. Also the wells are expected to decline at a rate of 30 % per annum.
So if that target of 8 mmscfd was to be reached things would look pretty rosy. Even Roland's 4 to 6 mmscfd would be ok ish.
The market obviously thinks that's a massive IF.
