RE: Real drill costs.31 Jan 2026 11:05
So based on abzzba's figures, all we need really is the partner to drill say 30 wells at between $400k to $950k each - so $12m to $28.5m for the drilling, and then complete let's say 60% of them ( 18 wells ) for $3.96m to $9.9m, in order to produce 2,700 to 3,600 bpd ( 150 - 200 bpd) So a total cost to them of around $15.96 m to $38.4m for 18 completed wells. Those figures include the cash spent on non productive drills.
Maybe the actual total cost for drilling 30 wells and putting into 18 into production would be somewhere between those two figures @ around $27m ?
@ 150 bpd x 18 wells = 2,700 bpd @ say 360 days comes to 972k barrels per annum, and 19.44m barrels over 20 years. Then @ say $50 per barrel ( post refinery pricing ) and after deductions, that leaves $972m to be shared between the two parties over 20 years.
Or @ 200 bod x 18 wells = 3,600 bpd, which based on 360 days per year comes to 1.296m barrels per annum, and 25.92m barrels over 20 years, so based on $50 per barrel post refinery, it comes to $1.296 billion to be shared between the two parties over 20 years.
