SD,
You are most likely correct. But the only way to know for sure is to have the company unambiguously break it out.
For the most part when a E&P company talks cash operating costs (some say lifting costs) there is usually a footnote floating around saying "excluding Cash G&A and Interest). Maybe PYM is different and has included it - you can always do the reality check of taking Qtrly G&A and dividing by Qtrly production to come up with $G&A/Boe. The $12/Bo figure seems awfully low to include G&A. If you take $1.7M as their annual G&A
Re the comment on all-in costs of $30. Again, depending on what the true cash operating costs are, just adding the F&D costs gives you the "Half cycle" costs - not all in costs. If its full cycle you're after then land acquisition, infrastructure, seismic etc need to be added.
On the $18 F&D cost - and reference to EUR 73MBO - that implies $1,314,000 cost per well - yet Sep Qtrly said $850-$950K and EUR of a very broad range 50-140MBO
Cougartrading made a quick estimate (which I don't agree with - no decline and no downtime) of :
60 bopd x 3 wells = 180bopd of production
PYM NRI is 75% for first 3 wells?
So PYM sales oil is 135 bopd x 365 days = 49,275. If that was the only project you Cash G&A = $34.50 per bbl........
Continuing,
If oil price at $50 avg the Gross Rev is $2,463,750
Less Operating Costs ($12/bo) of $591,300
Gross Profit (?) = $1,872,450
Less G&A of $1,700,000
and Less any interest payments or other item - say $0
Net Profit (?) = $172,450
That was just real quick. Might need some further questioning of mgmt (especially on change to F&D cost & EUR). Best be cautious.
