Wressle: Some numbers to consider, not my numbers, but those from directly UJO/public information.
Starts Oct?, Production 200 bbls/day, Oil Price $42, Opex $10/bbl ($17/bbl if you include costs to date)
So - Yr 1 Revenue at $32/bbl after opex, assuming 350 days per year of production and no decline. $2.24mm = £1.7mm
Payment due to Calmar LLP on "first commercial production" £ 2.08mm =$2.74mm (2*£1.04mm)
Seems to me they need to pay Calmar more than the first years net revenue.
UJO seem to highlight that payment is due at "first commercial production" in inverted comma's in their release.
What does this actually mean? Clearly producing and selling Oil at $42 when costs are $10 is commercial so is it due
on the start of production, before any significant revenue?
OR
does it mean, the point at which they actually make money including what they've spent to date, and so is only due once they've recovered past costs. Clarification on this is important because otherwise it could be they have to spend £2.08mm when Wressle starts producing essentially before any material revenue accumulates. Given they have £5mm in the bank and they need to drill a well and test two wells, it does beg the question of are they fully funded if its the first interpretation?
