PROFESSOR UNIT
PROFESSOR UNIT is a Texas gas lease in Tarrant County, Railroad Commission district 09, operated by Xto Energy Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from June 2008 to August 2026, totalling 1,052,421 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 $96K, with roughly $26K 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 1,378 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was January 2017, at 5,433 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.
