YATES
YATES is a Texas gas lease in Jack County, Railroad Commission district 09, operated by Excel Oil & Gas, Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from August 2003 to August 2026, totalling 32,005 thousand cubic feet. 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 $447, with roughly $64 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 1 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2022, at 151 thousand cubic feet.
