FENTON "A"
FENTON "A" is a Texas gas lease in Upshur County, Railroad Commission district 06, operated by Oxy USA Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from October 1996 to August 2026, totalling 858,530 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 $89K, with roughly $16K 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 94 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was June 2018, at 2,067 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.
