Production Curtailment Analyzer

Analyze shutdown economics, calculate curtailment price thresholds, and determine optimal restart economics for your wells.

How this works

Shutdown price: Price at which monthly operating cash flow = 0 (revenue covers variable + fixed costs).

Curtailment threshold: Price at which shutting in is cheaper than producing (includes restart cost amortization).

Restart breakeven: Months of production needed to recover restart cost + lost production from restart production loss.
