Hypothetical Scenario Tool
Royalty Decline Calculator
Select your basin, formation, and well type to generate a hypothetical royalty decline scenario. This tool uses conservative type curve assumptions and flat commodity prices to illustrate how production — and royalty income — declines over the life of a well.
Hypothetical Example Only — Not a Valuation
This calculator generates hypothetical example scenarios using generalized type curve assumptions and conservative commodity price estimates. It is NOT a production forecast, revenue projection, or valuation of your mineral interest. Actual well performance varies significantly based on geological conditions, completion design, operator efficiency, well spacing, commodity price fluctuations, post-production deductions (gathering, compression, processing, transportation), and numerous other factors that cannot be captured in a simplified model. The output of this tool should not be relied upon for any financial, legal, or investment decision. For an accurate assessment of your mineral interest, consult a qualified petroleum engineer.
1. Well Type
2. Basin & Formation
Select your basin and formation so we can apply the appropriate type curve. If you don't know, select “Other / I Don't Know” for a generic example.
3. Production Status
Approximate is fine — this places you on the decline curve.
4. Your Ownership
Your fractional ownership of the mineral estate
Total acres in the drilling spacing unit
Active wells in your spacing unit
Estimates Are Just a Starting Point
Generalized type curves cannot replace a well-by-well engineering analysis of your specific minerals.
Our petroleum engineers analyze your actual wells, real decline history, operator development plans, and current comparable transactions — free, with no obligation.
