Reported production runs from January 2001 to August 2026, totalling 4,740,653 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 $47K, with roughly $6K expected over the next twelve months.
