Cost per barrel

Sumcan2,

your math worked out similar to mine.

(This is substantially conservative) What's saving LRE managements hides are: 1) Hedging 2) CAD-US Exchange rates. In order to prosper in this market they will either need to reduce CAPEX (which I don't think is healthy long term ...more

FYI, please remember that as oil price per barrel declines, so does the royalty payment. In Canada a $1 drop in oil price in US$ is reduced by the mitigating effect of the C$/US$ exchange rate AND the royalty payment.
