To use the Gas Royalty Calculator, input your acreage, the total acres in the production unit, and your royalty percentage from the lease. Enter the current price of natural gas and the daily production rate. You can also specify any overrides or burdens that apply to your royalties. The calculator will estimate your daily and annual royalty earnings.
The formula used is: (Your Acreage / Total Acres in Production Unit) * Royalty Percentage * Price of Natural Gas * Daily Production. Adjustments are made for Overrides/NPRI and Burdens/Deductions. The NRI is calculated as (Net Mineral Acres / Tract Acres) * (Royalty% + Overrides - Burdens). Revenue is calculated as Volume * Price * NRI.
Suppose you own 100 acres in a 640-acre production unit, with a 12.5% royalty rate. If the price of natural gas is $6.00 and the daily production is 3.5 units, your estimated annual royalty would be calculated as follows: (100/640) * 0.125 * $6.00 * 3.5 * 365 = $15,351.56.
When using the Gas Royalty Calculator, consider the potential for changes in production rates and market prices. Additionally, be aware of any legal or contractual obligations that may affect your royalties. For more detailed financial planning, consider consulting with a financial advisor.
