WOYTEK
WOYTEK is a Texas gas lease in Lavaca County, Railroad Commission district 02, operated by MB Energy, LLC. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from March 2023 to August 2026, totalling 515,250 thousand cubic feet. The lease is currently producing. 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 $1.2M, with roughly $373K 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 9,238 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2023, at 43,711 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 17% 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.
