MERCER RANCH
MERCER RANCH is a Texas gas lease in Tarrant County, Railroad Commission district 09, operated by Encana Oil & Gas(USA) Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from April 2009 to August 2026, totalling 1,661,419 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 $268K, with roughly $71K 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 3,718 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2020, at 7,473 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.
