MCDOWELL, PAUL
MCDOWELL, PAUL is a Texas gas lease in Wood County, Railroad Commission district 06, operated by Valence Operating Company. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from August 2014 to August 2026, totalling 32,275 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 $83K, with roughly $15K 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 75 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was April 2019, at 413 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.
