BACKSWING STATE
BACKSWING STATE is a Texas gas lease in Culberson County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Cog Operating LLC. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from February 2014 to August 2026, totalling 2,589,152 thousand cubic feet. The lease is intermittent. 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 $5K, with roughly $631 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 15 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2016, at 40,822 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.
