KOTARA-RIDLEY UNIT
KOTARA-RIDLEY UNIT is a Texas gas lease in Karnes County, Railroad Commission district 02, operated by Ovintiv USA Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from March 2017 to August 2026, totalling 667,624 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 $57K, with roughly $22K 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 770 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2017, at 44,988 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 22% 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.
