SHEPARD
SHEPARD is a Texas gas lease in Denton County, Railroad Commission district 09, operated by Western Chief Oil & Gas Company. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from October 2003 to August 2026, totalling 571,950 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 $4K, with roughly $643 expected over the next twelve months. Over the last twelve months on file it averaged 1,004 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was August 2016, at 4,934 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.
