Hi fernan,
Good point. However, if chariot strategy was to continue producing at the initial rate of 70,000 mcf per day then extra reserves would lengthen the field life and you would be correct that extra years gas production is not as valuable.
The anchois area development plan show seabed templates at anchois, north , west , central and a tie back from the plié prospect to to anchois central with a total of 9 production wells. This indicates to me that daily production will likely rise substantially, so a pro rata adjustment is rough estimate of the value in the absence of detail. There are likely to be capex savings in such a development, although it’s likely to be a phased development . In addition anchois west, plié and anchois north likely to have separate field status so tax free for first ten years. My thinking is that these benefits are likely to offset the delay in production of a phased development. Also, the average gas price is $10.4 mcf but it’s likely higher production volumes would be sold into the premium Spanish marker where the forward price is $16 mcf yet by using a pro rata price I am using the lower $10,4 mcf price, its obviously not precise due to lack of detail but I think it’s a good estimate at this time.
If you have another calculation please post and we can discuss.
