FRANCES KUNKEL UNIT
FRANCES KUNKEL UNIT is a Texas gas lease in Jasper County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by BBX Operating, L.L.C. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from March 2012 to August 2026, totalling 3,145,381 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 $539K, with roughly $111K 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 4,423 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was August 2018, at 20,990 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.
