David, i can't remember the comment i made or question i asked;only follow the comments made regarding issues on the site. Can you refresh my memory? lol email keb911@hotmail.com
David. Yes, I believe I can help you with an offer for your minerals. If you will give me some basic information, I will give you a firm offer amount. I need the section-township-range and the lessor's legal name as it appears on the lease. Please contact me directly on my private email, skippeel@gmail.com, or by phone at 318-218-8323.
Yes they have are in the process of unitizing it right now. I've heard good things about JW Porter so I imagine that you will be well informed. Hopefully you are not leased to Cubic. Jay and many others are extremely disappointed with them.
I remember your posting that you were an Appraiser. I thought there might be some sort of valuation process. I'm in the boat with you as far as being poor.
Yes, the $76,204/acre is the present value of an acre under a 25% royalty lease to an owner (or buyer), assuming the well produces for 40 years in those amounts and at the prices indicated. If the well were to dry up after 35 years, then the present value would be $70,422/acre.
David, here are my thoughts regarding your spreadsheet. First, the horizontal shale gas wells generally decline rapidly in the early years with the decline slowing to a stable rate in the 5th year. Likely decline rates are Year 1: 56 - 73%, Year 2: 27 - 36%, Year 3: 18 - 24%, Year 4: 12 - 18%, Year 5: 8 - 10%.
Regarding gas price, production in DeSoto Parish would receive less than Henry Hub (Nymex). Current pricing would be ~ $8/Mcf. Also, I would escalate at a lower rate than 5% (maybe 2 - 3%).
David, I am not familiar with the shortcut method for valuing future royalties. I think you just have to estimate future royalty payments and do a discounted cash flow analysis. A 25% royalty may generate an NPV of ~ $15,000 per acre for each well drilled in the unit.
David, sorry about the delay in responding to your request. No, I think the annual income should be more on the order of the $1,000 per acre with one well.
As you stated a full valuation would be based on discounted future royalty payments plus the upfront bonus, of course.
David, the $1000 per acre each year was based on a 25% royalty.
I would say your acreage location would have low potential for any shallow production. The closest production would be in the Grogan Field (T11N - R11W)
David, in my past I worked for a major O&G company with primary experience in natural gas development, production, processing and transportation. My current company has no involvement in production but I monitor the development of non-conventional gas plays such as the Barnett, Fayetteville and Haynesville Shale.

Have you done any of your spread sheets lately. I never could view the one you prepared in excel.
Have you seen the discussion about Chesapeake buying minerals thru M.C. Minerals for 16,000 to 22,000 per acre?
I am considering selling some of mine.
Do you still feel that each acre is worth $76,204 present value?
THANKS,
PARKER
Have you received any offers other than the $10,000. per acre?
I didn't realize there were enough horizontal wells that had been drilled to make these kind of projections.
I didn't consider the costs of transport from DeSoto to Henry Hub.
Umm, about escalation, I don't know. I just tend to think that energy prices are going to rise faster than historical inflation.
I got a quick offer yesterday for $10,000/acre for my royalties. It was so quick I have to think they're worth much more.
