Hi Kieth, an excellent piece of Math !
With respect please allow me to add a few ideas.
When you reference 1 billion barrels of oil and 330p, I would suggest we have in all likelihood much more oil, so I would say for EVERY billion barrels of oil = 330p (a subtle difference)
To attach some sort of valuation to this oil and assuming PRD are left with just 20% of the license and we become non operators, purely looking for an income.
Let us assume my calculations are per 1 billion barrels of oil
A very simple RF of 20%, I would expect this to improve over time, but lets be realistic.
A exchange rate of 1.35 GBP over the life of the field
Average POO $85 gross, $55 net
A point of interest is how long it will take to pump the field of all the oil, allowing for non additional EOR. Let us assume 150,000 daily production
1 billion barrels with a RF of 20% = 200,000,000 bls therefore time = 1,333 days
3 billion barrels with a RF of 20% = 600,000,000 = 4,000 days
Plus added down time for snags and maintenance
Let us assume 150,000 bpd x $55 net = $8.25m per day or $3.011 billion pa
PRD share 20% = $602m attributed to PRD shareholders
Let us assume $602m income and 400m shares in issue = $1..50 per share or 111p possible divi per annum per 1 share.
HOW MANY SHARES DO YOU OWN ?
You can Adjust total number of bls, RF, daily production, exchange rate etc.
Obviously if you doubled production you would in theory double the dividend, but half the payment time.
RF will very likely increase over time due more oil being discovered and new technology in extraction methods.
So someone who owns 250,000 shares might see a annual divi of £277,500 before tax, for a period of time TBD depending on various circumstances.
The above is not a perfect piece of Math, lots of assumptions, but I think you can hopefully see the potential.
