And at $70 (we are currently sitting at circa $67ish) a barrel that would indicate a further $73,000,000 per annum or thereabouts.
So, by lifting the barrel price circa 16%, the increase from the modelled $60 to $70 (nearer where it currently is, and where a lot of pundits see it averaging) you get an overall gain of nearer 30-36%.
If my calculations (additional $10 per barrel, 20,000 barrels per day, 365 days a year) are accurate that is.
And that additional $73,000,000 is not merely revenue, it is increased profitability (prior to tax), as the production costs do not escalate in line with an increasing oil price.
But then again, accounting/economics isn’t my bag, so there is more than a reasonable chance I have misconstrued things, so I would suggest that someone with more aptitude in that particular sphere offers a position on it.
IMHO
