KLAUS
KLAUS is a Texas gas lease in Washington County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by Geosouthern Operating II, LLC. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 2019 to August 2026, totalling 3,867,786 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 $1.6M, with roughly $332K 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 11,261 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was March 2019, at 209,492 thousand cubic feet. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 18% 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.
