CHILDS
CHILDS is a Texas gas lease in Shelby County, Railroad Commission district 06, operated by Burk Royalty Co., Ltd. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from March 2007 to August 2026, totalling 140,001 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 $10K, with roughly $1K 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 57 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2016, at 2,028 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 45% 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.
