ESPY 57
ESPY 57 is a Texas gas lease in Sutton County, Railroad Commission district 7C, operated by Dreyfus, Louis Natural Gas Corp. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from December 1999 to August 2026, totalling 258,595 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 $1K, with roughly $130 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 6 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2016, at 611 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 100% 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.
