FRANK MALEK 05

FRANK MALEK 05 is a Texas gas lease in Live Oak County, Railroad Commission district 02, operated by Marathon Oil Ef LLC. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from July 2023 to August 2026, totalling 2,164,414 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 $6.7M, with roughly $2.0M 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 40,220 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was February 2024, at 194,596 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 18% 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.
