Production & Forecast
See what your leases produced, and what we estimate next.
See the production your leases reported to Texas, your share in barrels, MCF and estimated dollars, and our estimate of what’s still to come.
Whole lease: the full monthly volume reported to Texas, before losses or your interest.
Production is what the operator reported to the state. Your royalty statement shows what you were paid.
Each lease on its own chart, from the state’s records.
Mineral View charts each lease on your claimed record from its monthly reports to the Railroad Commission of Texas, so you can see how each one has produced and what we estimate next.
Texas production reports arrive months after the production month. July to September aren’t reported yet, so we show estimates for them, marked on the chart.

The operator, the company that runs the wells, reports each lease’s production to the Railroad Commission of Texas monthly. Mineral View shows those reports for the leases on your claimed record.
Each lease is reported on its own, and some reports reach the state later than others. So one lease may be reported through June and another only through May. Your chart shows each lease’s latest report.
They’re measured in different units and sell at very different prices, so showing them apart makes clear what each one adds.
Your portal shows this for each lease you open.

Your leases have produced about two-thirds of the gas we expect through June 2034. Most gas comes early, so being past halfway doesn’t mean they’re about to stop.
Your estimated income, using the prices in our estimate. A label like “6m” means only 6 months of that year are included.
| Lease | Last report | Your estimated income, first 12 estimated months | Estimated gas still to come (whole lease) | Estimated oil still to come (whole lease) | Gas produced so far |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lease A | Jun | $6,400 | 160,000 MCF | 40,000 BBL | 45% |
| Lease B | Jun | $3,100 | 85,000 MCF | 31,000 BBL | 85% |
| Lease Cnew well added in 2021 | May | $6,100 | 144,000 MCF | 26,000 BBL | 60% |
| All 3 leases | about $15,600 | 389,000 MCF | 97,000 BBL | 68% |
Lease C’s latest report is May; each lease shows its own latest report. Volumes are for the whole lease; dollar amounts are your estimated income, rounded.

Some gas is used on the lease, flared or lost before sale. Where the operator reports it, Texas records those amounts. “After losses” is what remains. How your royalty is calculated depends on your lease.
We multiply each lease’s production by your interest from the county appraisal roll. That’s your share in barrels and MCF. We then price it with the prices in our estimate, after Texas production tax. Post-production deductions aren’t included. Your payment decimal is on your division order and may differ.
Most wells produce the most when they’re new, then slow down. We estimate future production from how your lease’s production has declined so far, using a decline curve, a common industry method. New wells, repairs, shut-ins and prices can make actual production differ.
We update estimates when new reports arrive. Each estimate shows the date it was made.
Claim your record to see the estimate for your own leases.
Understand the trend behind your statements.
Most owners only see one number: this month’s statement. The production history and our estimate answer questions that one number can’t.
Production is one reason: a gradual decline can be normal, and a sudden drop may be worth asking your operator about. Prices, deductions and timing also change what you’re paid.
Can be normal.
May be worth asking your operator about.
Our production estimate is one input, alongside your own records. It is not an appraisal, and it is not the price you should expect to receive.
An estimated range for the first 12 estimated months, then year by year, for budgeting or family conversations. Estimates, not guaranteed payments.

Start with what the state already knows: claim your record to see each lease, its operator and its production history. Keep your royalty statements, division orders and ownership papers together. Your payment decimal is on your division order.
For production questions, ask the operator. For price, deduction or payment questions, use the contact on your royalty statement. Keep it short and specific: “Could you confirm the volume for March on Lease A?”
If you move, tell the companies that pay you and your county appraisal district. Otherwise payments and tax notices can go to the wrong place, and payments that can’t reach you can end up with the Texas unclaimed property program.
Your portal keeps all of this in one place, for the leases you open.
Our production estimate is one input to estimated value today, shown as a range.

Tip: use just your first and last name. Claiming connects your workspace to a record. It does not establish ownership, title or entitlement to payment.
