WEST SIDE
WEST SIDE is a Texas gas lease in Orange County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by Lake Ronel Oil Company. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 2009 to August 2026, totalling 4,036,675 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 $4.7M, with roughly $791K 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 26,799 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was April 2026, at 31,306 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.
