SALINAS
SALINAS is a Texas gas lease in Zapata County, Railroad Commission district 04, operated by Newfield Exploration Company. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from November 2005 to August 2026, totalling 1,200,052 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 $3K, with roughly $362 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 19 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was October 2018, at 636 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 45% 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.
