Reported production runs from December 1996 to August 2026, totalling 1,794,933 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 $46K, with roughly $11K 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 670 thousand cubic feet a month.
