BROWN "B"
BROWN "B" is a Texas gas lease in Upshur County, Railroad Commission district 06, operated by Valence Operating Company. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from June 1997 to August 2026, totalling 383,883 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 $3K, with roughly $775 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 591 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was January 2020, at 1,864 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 22% 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.
