RE:RE:RE:MEG Expects To Pay A Staggering 20+% Royalty Rate in Q2/2023 The government. Easiest to think of it as a tax. They start at a flat rate - I think 5% - once the well recovers its costs the rate will go up. Post pay-out there is a sliding scale with royalties of 10% - 40%.
I'm not a royalty expert, so the above may not be exact, but the general idea is correct.
