HURST-BAY UNIT
HURST-BAY UNIT is a Texas gas lease in Grimes County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by Southern Bay Operating, L.L.C. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from February 2009 to August 2026, totalling 2,447,757 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 $179K, with roughly $38K 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 2,011 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was August 2016, at 5,944 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.
