ComboCurve: Pricing

In this article we will take a dive into the pricing header within the scenario module in ComboCurve.

Price Model

Price Model (Copy/paste columns of data from Excel by clicking in a pricing cell and Ctrl-V). Cap is maximum pricing not exceeded via Escalation model.

Begin Dates can be:
  1. Flat: From As Of Date to ECL
  2. As Of: From As Of Date (denoted by “1 months”) for specified number months
  3. Dates: From entered date.  Unless intended, be careful not to pick date after As Of Date so as not to affect economics
Tip: For months and dates, Econ Limit auto-entered in final segment so put a zero at end if needed.

Pricing Breakdown

  1. Oil - Oil Prices always $/BBL
  2. Gas - Gas Prices $/Mcf or $/MMBTU
    1. If $/MMBTU, Ensure BTU content defined in Stream Properties.
  3. NGL -NGL Prices $/BBL, $/GAL or % of Oil Price (adjusted with oil over time)
    1. Since NGL Yield is set in Stream Properties always at BBL/MMCF, 42 gal/BBL conversion factor applied in all calculations
  4. Drip Cond - Drip Cond Prices $/BBL or % of Oil Price (adjusted with oil over time)

8/8ths Break Even

  1. 8/8ths Break Even – Calculate a breakeven price to achieve a specified ROR. Make sure to select Oil Break Even and/or Gas BreakEven outputs in the Additional Oneline Summary Options section when running economics
  2. NPV Discount – Enter a discount factor hurdle to use instead of zero (undiscounted)
  3. Based on Price Ratio - (default No) to interpolate Gas or Oil break even price yielding NPV=0 at given discount rate.  Select Yes and price ratio approximates profitability of the respective products (ie $70 oil and $4 gas = 17.5, higher than the energy equivalence of 6.0)

Price Decks

  1. Price Decks - Pull the current or historical futures pricing on a given date for:
  2. Gas Price - Henry Hub Natural Gas Future
  3. Oil Price - (NYMEX / WTI –or- Brent Crude Oil Futures Settlements) – scroll down for WTI!
We are looking at adding functionality to pull 12-months historical data with interpolation to futures for interim months, but you may pull and manually insert actuals via:

Custom Stream Pricing

  1. Users can also define unit prices for any custom streams that have been created from the project or company level
  2. From the Pricing assumption's Advanced View, all created custom streams will be displayed under the 'Key' dropdown
  3. After selecting a custom stream in the 'Key' cell, make sure to indicate:
    1. The stream type (Company/Project Custom Stream) in the 'Category' column
    2. The criteria (flat, time series, or relative time from your effective date)
  4. All custom stream pricing will be based on $/Unit measurements, with 'Unit' being defined in the production streams settings
