Value of Crown Share of Production
Royalty Revenue (dollars)
• Crown Share of Production x Well-head Value
Crown Share of Production (thousand cubic metres)
• Royalty Rate x Well’s Monthly Production Volume
Well-head Value (dollars per thousand cubic metres)• (PGP or OGP) – Gas Cost Allowance (GCA)
where:• PGP and OGP are expressed in $/10³m³ at field gate• GCA is postage stamp rate of $10/10³m³
www.er.gov.sk.ca
Operator’s Price Election Option
PGP (Provincial Average Gas Price)• Established by the minister each month
or
OGP (Operator’s Average Gas Price)• Based on the average value of the operator’s
Saskatchewan gas sales each month
