Potential Loss or Profits for Oil and Gas Companeis

If you were to look at the strip forward prices for 2010 and apply the Q2 09 expenses per BOE numbers and apply them to the weighted production of the TSX listed Junior and Intermediate OIl and Gas companies with production in the Western Basin, you would see that about half of these companies will not turn a profit next year.


These are just potential projections use Q2 09 costs per BOE and 2010 strip forward prices on gas and oil. The expenses per BOE by company may move up or down depending on numerous factors. Junior companies have production between 1,000 and 10,000 BOED and Intermediates have production between 10,000 and 100,000 BOED.


Highlights:
  • 80 Companies with production between 1,000 and 100,000 BOED
  • Production averaged 10, 744
  • Gas weighted at 68%
  • 6,543 BOED Gas and 4,201 BOED Oil
  • Average expense per BOE $51.81 and $8.64 per MCF
  • Based on average price of $5.07/MCF on gas the average company will lose $27M from gas production
  • Based on average price of $89.40 per BOE of oil, the average company will make $66M from oil production
  • The average company is expected to make $38.6M in straight profit
  • Based on a blended rate, average company will lose $2.59 per BOE

Based on this information, approximately half of these companies will not turn a profit in the next year. Now, these are only projects and not actuals, so some of these companies will probably be able to put a strategy in place that will reduce gas production and boost oil production and thus move them to profitability. There are other companies that, no matter how hard they try, may not be able to reduce their costs and hedge a higher rate received to turn them to profitability.
