On closing, Vermilion paid $100 million to Marathon and will pay an additional future payment, the amount of which will vary from approximately $300 million to $135 million depending on the date when first commercial gas from the field is achieved.
Pursuant to the agreement, Vermilion will assume its share of future capital expenditure obligations in order to reach first gas. Beginning at the effective date of January 1, 2009, these costs are anticipated to range up to $300 million net to the acquired interest.
The Corrib field is expected to produce gross volumes in excess of 300 million cubic feet per day of natural gas for a period of two to four years before experiencing natural declines of 20%. Net production to Vermilion is initially anticipated at approximately 9,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
