This is my post, they suggest that they can drill 30 wells in 2 years for only a few million yet it costs 4 million to drill and bring online a well in Mongolia, the numbers just don't add up.
As we all know within a few years this company will be making between 5000-10000 bpd. I think we all agree that’s a matter of fact?? If we get a farm in how much will that cost them?
So Ive taken some time to do the calcs.
The below is based on a commercial well costing 4 mil, for every 10 commercial wells I’ve added in a further 2 wells as none commercial at 2 mil each and I’m basing the average commercial well at 100 bpd as it’s a nice round finger. I’m also using the 70 dollar a barrel figure as quoted in the recent presentation that gives us 40$ profit a barrel. We’re going with a 50/50 split on all profits as well.
The ramp crew should find the above very acceptable.
So year 1 it will cost 44 mil, ( 10 wells at 4 m plus 2 dusters 2 mil)
This will return a profit of 14.6 million, 50:50 that’s 7.3 mil each
Year 2 it will cost 44 million, (10 wells at 4m plus 2 dusters at 2 mil)
This wil return a profit of 29.2 million, 50:50 thsts 14.6 mil each
Year 3 it will cost 44 million, (10 wells at 4m plus 2 dusters at 2 mil)
This wil return a profit of 43.8 million, 50:50 thsts 21.9 mil each
Year 4 it will cost 44 million, (10 wells at 4m plus 2 dusters at 2 mil)
This wil return a profit of 58.4 million, 50:50 that's 29.2 mil each
Year 5 it will cost 44 million, (10 wells at 4m plus 2 dusters at 2 mil)
This wil return a profit of 73 million, 50:50 that’s 36.5 mil each
So the total cost to get to 5000 bpd will be circa 220 mil and the company will receive 109.5 million in oil sales so in total the farmee will need to pump in 110.50 million.
We’re a company worth 15 million it would make economic sense just to buy the company for say 45 million and take 100% of sales.
Once the wells are drilled it would be very economic for the farmee but will require deep pickets to get there.
If Matd can get 50:50 split on 5000 bpd it be transformational for them, it’s up to mb now to hold strong and get a good deal for its share holders.
