RICHTER-NILES
RICHTER-NILES is a Texas gas lease in Wharton County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by Ricochet Energy, Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from October 2011 to August 2026, totalling 2,274,188 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 $1.2M, with roughly $189K 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 7,439 thousand cubic feet a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2016, at 14,498 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.
