All,
I've had a swift response from Enq. IR. I had seen on the board that some of you had found IR/Ian Wood approachable and helpful and I would now second that. All for little old me, I'm touched. Anyhow;
"OGA data is effectively “well-head” production (i.e. that metered at the field). For many of our assets, there are adjustments to get the sales number made for transportation (we have often referred to this as shrinkage – and it is usually 2-4%) and any produced gas that may be re-injected (this is true at Magnus in particular)."
So
OGA data is useful as a barometer and is probably always best case due to "shrinkage", re-injection and fuelling (although the latter not mentioned in reply).
Company reporting is probably "sales product" oriented.
Still no way of knowing accurate oil to gas ratio unless from company figures.
I think ongoing I will look at the sum of oga oil and gas, apply a bit of shrinkage and see if I can find a happy place where it all adds up close to reported figures. If that ends up looking exciting I'll put some graphs out again.
I hope some of that is useful and thanks for comments but especially McLondoner for helping me along the way.
