Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 101,586 barrels. The lease is shut in. 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 $8K, with roughly $2K expected over the next twelve months.
