I dont know how accurate or valid my assumptions are .. so I'd like to get a response and opinions from others.
Here's my quick rough and ready maths ... Let's say AED invests the $300 mill cash surplus in an interest bearing bank account at 8% interest .. that's a $24 mill / annum profit just there.
Even in the worst case a production rate of only 10,000 barrels/day from the field .. and so 4,000 net barrels /day to AED(40%) .. - it should still bring a revenue of about $150 mill/year and a profit in excess of $35 mill /annum net to AED .. based on a margin of $25/barrel.
So worst case should bring a profit of about $59 mill/annum net to AED.
the upside is if production rate can get to the notional 30,000 barrels/day rate.. in which case the profit will be about $130 mill/annum net to AED .. based on the $25/barrel margin.
