CHILES

CHILES is a Texas gas lease in Cherokee County, Railroad Commission district 06, operated by Valence Operating Company. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from April 2014 to August 2026, totalling 3,453,754 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 a standard royalty share at about $28K, with roughly $5K expected over the next twelve months. Over the last twelve months on file it averaged 8,259 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was October 2016, at 30,653 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.
