COOPER 49
COOPER 49 is a Texas gas lease in Ward County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Arco Permian. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from December 1994 to August 2026, totalling 2,658,575 thousand cubic feet. The lease is intermittent. 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 $58K, with roughly $13K 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 1,308 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was October 2018, at 5,813 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.
