"Full production of 1.5 million therms as of June 1st? Probably a small sentiment-based spike at one of two vital milestones being passed - but it pales into insignificance compared to the necessity of a successful sidetrack.
At 1.5 million therms per month, c. 100% of Saltfleetby production is hedged for the next three years - and that means (at today's latest mark to market futures pricing) that Mercuria would get £75.5 million of pure profit over the next three years and ANGS/SEL would share £24 million of gross revenue over the same period. Out of which they have to pay £14 million plus back on the loan, leaving just £10 million of revenue to cover three years of G&A, plus field operations costs (and then ANGS also has the Knowe £1.4 million CLN to pay off next year). That would leave ANGS in close to a zero profit situation over the next three years."
