A good post by MT at ADVFN detailing the basic workings of the deal.
Paul has provided enough data to work out what 'only' $2.2bn of nat gas contract revenue from Ortoire actually means in terms of the expected total field production and field life.
Paul suggested 80-100 MMcfd of nat gas production, and a NGC contract revenue range of $1.6bn up to $2.2bn, at an average price of $2.50 Mcf.
Let's assume a mid range production figure of 90 MMcfd and $1.9bn total contract revenue.
This generates revenue of: 90 MMcfd x $2.50 Mcf = $225,000/day / $82m/year
Expected Annual production = 90 MMcfd x 365 = 32.8 Bcf/year
Expected Field Life = $1.9bn divided by $82m/year = 23.2 years
Expected Production during life of the contact = 23.2 years x 32.8 Bcf/year = 761 Bcf
Therefore, the management assumes for a contract revenue range of $1.6bn up to $2.2bn, the 2P reserves of Coho, Cascadura and Chinook combined will likely be, subject to successful further testing, in the range of 641 Bcf to 881 Bcf.
Any additional reserves generated from exploration drilling success at the deeper Cascadura Zone, the mighty Royston or any of the other 21 Turbidite Herrera prospects will most likely get simply added to the contract value pro-rata to the figures above.
