SMITH GAS UNIT
SMITH GAS UNIT is a Texas gas lease in Upshur County, Railroad Commission district 06, operated by Verado Energy, Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 465,024 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 $30K, with roughly $4K 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 156 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2016, at 1,574 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.
