RE: Asset Values - Heron 12.6p, GOBI 18.9p, Total - 31.5p per Share!24 Mar 2026 09:12
'I lose track with the calculation for how much we receive after the various deductions, including I think $15 per barrel paid to PC for transport, storage and sales costs. How much do people think we actually get now at say $100 per barrel ?'
For clarity the terms of the PSC are:-
1. A. 5% Royalty is paid to the MG based on gross revenue
2. Matd can then claim up to 40% of the remaining revenue (Cost oil) until all development costs and current production costs are recovered.
3. The remaining revenue (Production oil) is shared with the MG 60:40 in favour of Matd.
Therefore as an example at $100 Brent the oil is sold in China at $95.5 (Brent less 3.5% less $1). $4.78 is paid to Mongolian Governament as Royalty and then 40% of the remaining $90.72 is paid to Matd as cost oil ($36.28).The remaining $54.44 is then split 60:40 infavour of Matd to give them a further $32.66. We know from previous payments received that Matd pay Petro China around $15 a barrel for transporting, storing, processing and selling the oil. Therefore at $100 Brent MATD receive around $54/barrel.
Current production is around 280bopd (Gaz1 135 & H1 145) x $54/barrel x 365days = $5.5m. On site production costs and G&A are around $2.5m.
With regards a farm out, the minimum that MATD should be looking at is $65m free carry for 50% or a derivative of those figures ($32m for 25%) given that MATD have incurred costs to date around $65m.
