RE:Really quick question - What is the production cost / barrel Netback = Revenue - Operating Costs - Royalties and is expressed per barrel.
Found this definition for cash margin in the oil industry...
Cash Margin per BOE is a performance measure we calculate as a ratio, the numerator of which is net income adjusted for the special items: depreciation, depletion and amortization; dry hole costs; impairments; and corporate and other segment earnings. The denominator is production for the stated time period. This performance measure represents the amount of cash generated per BOE of production.
