BALLOON HOUND B
BALLOON HOUND B is a Texas gas lease in La Salle County, Railroad Commission district 01, operated by Ep Energy E&P Company, LLC. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from September 2024 to August 2026, totalling 369,254 thousand cubic feet. The lease is intermittent. Fitting a decline curve to that history and pricing the remaining production at today's forward curve values the whole lease — a 100% undivided interest — at about $6.5M, with roughly $4.0M expected over the next twelve months. An individual royalty owner receives their own decimal interest times that figure. Over the last twelve months on file it averaged 28,891 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2025, at 40,492 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 18% of what they went on to produce, and that measured error is the range shown on the page rather than a confidence of our own devising.
