RE:RE:BTE vs oil price Just to be sure that all of us are on the same track !
The actual WTI price that we see right now is for future contract of October 2023 !
The actual BRENT price that we see right now is for future contract of November 2023 !
See below what is publish weekly by Oilprice.com to prove it :
Tomorrow, I will post the Oil & Energy insider weekly report of sept 15 by Oilprice.com.
This is what, I use to calculated monthly avg. price, the avg. of all 4 contracts publish by Oilprice.com.
REMEMBER : Trading shall cease at the end of the designated settlement period on the 4th US business day prior to the 25th calendar day of the month preceding the contract ... So base on this information, here is a comparaison between what Baytex publish on it's financial quarterly report compare to what is the monthly WTI price publish by OILPRICE.COM.
For sure many others factors comes into play for all producers like hedges in place or not and my method is not perfect.
My understanding is... so far, for the rest of 2023, Baytex is well position to receive the full price of WTI price.
So as JD said, the WTI mprice for Q3 should be around 75$.
Hope it help to understand the way WTI price is fix monthly !!!
