STEPHENSON
STEPHENSON is a Texas gas lease in Harrison County, Railroad Commission district 06, operated by Shelby Operating Company. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from November 2003 to August 2026, totalling 961,701 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 $169K, with roughly $49K 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 4,770 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was June 2025, at 9,662 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.
