MERTZ GAS UNIT NO. 2
MERTZ GAS UNIT NO. 2 is a Texas gas lease in Lavaca County, Railroad Commission district 02, operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA, Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from February 2008 to August 2026, totalling 3,209,804 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 $784K, with roughly $122K 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 4,608 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2020, at 12,590 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.
