DANFORTH-DYE
DANFORTH-DYE is a Texas gas lease in Goliad County, Railroad Commission district 02, operated by Chesapeake Operating, Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from May 2005 to August 2026, totalling 491,457 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 $40K, with roughly $7K 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 46 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was June 2019, at 227 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.
