Earnings Forecast: '07 & '08
As of April 30, 2007 we have restored approximately 40 wells to production bringing the total number of producing wells to 140, at a cost of $45,000, including allocated internal costs.
"Our plan is to operate our properties and to restore 10-20 wells per month to production. A typical well restoration we estimate will cost $2,500 to $5,000" (even though it has averaged at $1,125 as of now per well restoration they are obviously restoring the best wells that need the least amount of restoration work first).
491 wells remaining at $1,125 per restoration is $552,375. At $3,000 (which is the figure used in the forecast) per restoration it will cost $1,473,000 to restore the remaining wells.

The often quoted unit for natural gas is an MCF (thousand cubic feet), currently trading for around $7.86, I use $4 profit per (MCF) in this forecast.
21,600 (MCF) = $86,400 natural gas profit for May.
3,000 barrels of oil per month at $35 profit per barrel is $105,000 for May.
20 restored wells each month at 3,000 per restoration is -$60,000 restoration expenditures each month.
$105,000 + $86,400 = $191,400 - $60,000 and profit for May could be $131,400
Factor a production increase of approximately 10,000 MCF and 750 barrels of oil per month and your looking at $66,250 additonal profit each month indefinetly until maximum production is achieved which could take place in Q3 2008 at the current pace CHAG management is restoring wells.
Based on that formula, second quarter earnings May, and June (April not included) could exceed $300,000.
