HANCOCK
HANCOCK is a Texas gas lease in Wharton County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by Amerada Hess Corporation. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from February 1998 to August 2026, totalling 1,624,093 thousand cubic feet. The lease is shut in. 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 $2K, with roughly $272 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 46 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2016, at 1,782 thousand cubic feet.
