STATE DESERT GOLD UNIT
STATE DESERT GOLD UNIT is a Texas gas lease in Reeves County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Apache Corporation. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from February 2019 to August 2026, totalling 2,173,539 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 $147K, with roughly $107K 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 18,872 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was April 2019, at 101,459 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 18% 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.
