Magnus Gas7 Apr 2019 17:24
Intrigued but uneducated in such matters I've had a browse through the RI prospectus and elsewhere to find out more about Magnus Gas.
There is lots on fuel and sales gas in the RI Prospectus GCA competent persons report. It predicts gas used as fuel as approx 50% of produced gas currently drifting towards approx 67% in 2023. A change is then predicted, I guess to do with phasing out of injected gas, and the gas used as fuel goes to approx 34% rising to approx 50% by 2030. All very complicated with imported gas also being purchased, injected, recovered and sold.
The 2018 FY results state: "Revenue from the sale of condensate and gas was $43.1 million (2017: $2.8 million) as a result of increased gas sales from Magnus, which includes the combination of produced gas sales and the onward sale of third-party gas purchases not required for injection activities, for which the costs are included in other cost of sales."
and:
"Other cost of sales increased by $35.4 million to $48.1 million compared to 2017 ($12.7 million), principally reflecting the cost of additional Magnus related third-party gas purchases not required for injection activities."
Someone else can do the big boys math but it strikes me that Magnus gas is quite small in terms of income but it all adds up.
An educational Sunday afternoon that was.
