We're trying to model reversion using a Payout with investment reversion of 0$. Meaning, the well has to break even from capex, expense, and prod taxes through revenue. The well economics is effective as of 9/15/2024. However, we want to include the volumes, expenses, production taxes and capex from the "Tied to" date to the reversion calculation. You can then set up the "Tied to" date as an hardcoded date before the "As of" date.
Common Examples
Below are some of the models we see most often!
Full Carry/Back-In After Payout
The above shows a model of a farmee going from a full burden balance of 100% WI down to only half of the expense burdens after the well pays out. This is contingent on the well obviously reaching a balance of $0 on PV0, representing Revenue = CAPEX + Expenses + Production Taxes. At this point, the farmor will "back-in" to 50% of the WI. This is probably the most vanilla case, you can see a lot of variations such as a lighter reversion from full carry (100%/75% to 75%/56.25%)
Fully Carry/Back-In at First Production
Obviously eerily similar to the above example, but this will just be applicable in situations where the farmor wants immediate participation once risk is proven - its less favorable typically than a payout back-in since the farmor's avoiding all cost risk. This will be based off of when the well begins producing - hence the WH Cum Oil = 0.1 BBL. In reality, the value does not need to be 0.1 BBL, it just has to represent anything over 0.
Convertible ORRI
In this situation the farmor retains a 4% ORRI during D&C, which will convert to 25% WI the moment the well pays out (which is interchangeable with first production trigger of WH Cum Oil/Gas > 0).
The above is when non-op carries 20% of costs in exchange for a promoted 25% WI pre-payout, then reverts to a standard working interest. Operator holds 80% WI but only pays 75% of costs (promoted). The operator then drops to proportionate WI at payout.
Rev Basis Net Example - Third Party Interest Reversion
With Rev Basis Net set to 45% NRI — instead of measuring payout on a gross (100%) basis, the payout calculation is run using 45% NRI revenues and costs. This means rather than tracking payout at the full gross (100%) or the owner's own net (75% NRI) level, ComboCurve calculates cumulative revenues and costs using the specified 45% NRI. The reversion triggers when payout is reached under that 45% interest — meaning the well must generate enough cumulative net revenue, at a 45% NRI, to recover its costs before the ownership change takes effect.
This is useful when the reversion is contractually tied to a specific third party's interest — for example, a carried party who owns 45% NRI — and your reversion triggers when their share of the well reaches payout, not yours.
