Its hard to factor what both wells will be producing combined as there has been no comms/estimates regarding expected overall output so all we can assume is from the below statements, we will will go for the lower end of both to be on the conservative side:
" Higher gas production rates, expected to be initially in the 30-40 mmscf/d range from H2 after a period of displacing liquids in the Saturn Banks Pipeline, driving higher cash flow"
"Gross gas rates are in the 15-20 mmscf/d range, fluctuating due to onshore liquids letdown cycles, alongside associated condensate and water production"
So lets assume the lower estimate of 45mmscf/d for the argument of potential at a rough guestimate price of £1.25 per therm (could be higher or lower so a little guess work):
45mmscf/d=462,710 Therms
462,710=£578,387.5 per day
£578,387.5x7=£4,048,712.5 per week
£4,048,712.5x52=£210,533,050 per year
£210,533,050÷2 (Cal Energy take 50%)=£105,266,525 per year to IOG
So just over £105m per year from Blyth only to IOG is the potential, its only a rough guess on potential as we don't know future gas prices although predictions are that it will rise slightly higher and we do not know down times. Before the year is out I'd assume we will have another well drilled, my best guess reading through the updates would be Nailsworth which is our second biggest license after Goddard, Nailsworth makes the best logistical sense as its near the Southwark hub/Saturn banks pipeline, Elland is slightly closer although Nailsworth looks further ahead in regards to development but could be either of them two, the next update should provide some forward planning once Blyth H2 has been drilled.
