Value is the volume the operator reported for a month, multiplied by that month's benchmark price — 31.1 bn barrels of oil and 263.8 bn Mcf of gas, priced month by month. It is what the production was worth at the wellhead benchmark, not what anyone was paid. Every price is on one page, so the arithmetic is checkable.
