Cost of waiting on AER orders $50k

Waiting for a month for an application has a big cost.

Time is money No doubt you're painfully aware that it now takes over four weeks to get a past application document from the AER. Their wait times have soared over the last months.

The cost of waiting for an application from the AER has reached $50,000. Waiting a month for application information could put off a decision that would make you revenue this fiscal year.

If that decision puts off drilling a well, it also puts off getting the revenue for that well for a month. (Assumes the average conventional well in Alberta starts out at 30 bopd at an oil price of $60 per barrel).

Although the oil not produced for two weeks is not lost forever, it certainly reduces your revenue this fiscal year.

Now maybe your decision doesn't involve 30 bopd. Perhaps it s only 5 bopd or perhaps it's 200. You might even think that an application has no opportunity value whatsoever. But if that's true, why are you wasting your time ordering it?
