Sorry to be the new kid at school, raising questions that have already been discussed, but on trawling through the numbers , there appears to be a disconnect, ( that probably has an obvious answer).
Using Q3 report, Q3 figures:
i.e.
$4.1m for 91 days production.
Avg 60 mmscfs/d during Q3
Notional cost of $3.04 / mm btus
Conversion: 1mm scfs = 1037,000,000 btus
Notional cost of $3.04 * 1037 / mm scfs
= $3152/mmscfs
WRL interest = 32%
Theoretical revenue for Q3 = 91 * 60 * (3152*0.32) = $5.5m compared to reported $4.1m
Is there some royalty payment / local tax / land holder fee payable ( as per Texas), that reduces the notional $/mmscf?
Or are there other contributing factors, maintenance/holidays etc that have reduced production period, but these would have been stated, surely.
Whats the general view on the "extended credit" period that appears to be in operation, particularly as production increases and the bills get larger, and with regard to VOGs recent experience in Cameroon?
Apologies for what may have already been discussed but trying to get to grips with the WRL company.
