Many thanks for summarising this. Helps a great deal.
Correct, all they need to do now is prove this up and away we go.
Will be an interesting 6 months ahead!
And we haven't even factored in ORRI revenue or our current producers! (As you mention in your post below):
"To simplify it further, CHK bought 24166 acres from SSN and with 160 acre spacing would give you approx 150 wells.
Now if you take 3.8% ORRI from 150 wells, SSN would have approx 6 wells at 100%WI, based on TBs estimation of 413MBOE this would translate to 2,478,000 barrels of oil at no cost to SSN.
The fact the ORRI is spread over the entire acreage will further de risk the project, but as you can see the revenue has so much upside potential, especially if you use CHK formula which would more than double the volume.
These wells can have a life span up to 20 - 30 years which will provide SSN cash flow for many many years to come. IMO they will be bought out well before such time."
That to me translates to a LOT a LOT of money!!
Matsim quick question regarding CHK ORRI's - is what acreage provided previously (please see below) where we stand currently?
ACREAGE'S POST ON 18/6/11:
"Morning all,
well a big thanks to Terry for confirmation of these wells.From these figures,I would assume that SSN is now receiving payment from 4 wells CHK have up and running ?
We have a total of 13 ORRI wells including the 2 wells ( State 24-63 14-1H State 24-63 10-1H ) Samson part owns. A total of 4 wells are in the Codell formation and the rest 9 are in the Niobrara.
Once again thankyou to Terry for clearing this matter up.
