Royalty amount decline!
My latest royalty check showed a drop of $45,000 from last month. I'm only 9 months into receiving royalties. That's a scary decrease.

Not unusual. ITG has declines in the Utica estimated at 80% by the end of year one.

Dang! There goes Zack's second million right down the "turlet". That a cryin' shame, and so unfair!
(Wow! And you figure some landowners never have had any royalty income at all; not yet, anyway.)

The decline could be anything from price of gas, to choking the well, to typical decline. $45k loss in a month, who knew the days where we would lose more money in a month than we would make in a year LOL

Zack,
Take a look at the decline curves in this slide program from one of the oil company quarterly presentations. The decline is a lot faster than I thought, which was 3 years to 50% production. Now its 3 to 6 months. By the time you get the first Royalty Check your production is less than 50%. The exception could be if the well is not under full production due to the lack of a pipeline, then the drop off rate would be slower, but then the amount of production would be low to start with.

Zack what state, county are you in? Is this Utica or Marcellus? What percentage drop is this?

I'm in WV. Marshall County. It's for Marcellus. I was averaging between $1000 to $1500 per acre per month. How are these wells going to pay royalties for 20 plus years if this big decline starts so quickly? I always thought production was fairly constant for the first 3 or 4 years?

No, they drop very quickly the first several years, then they pay steadily for a long time at about 20% of first years rate.

If the decline rate is so fast why do companys still want to buy the acres My guess is the decline rate is made up by the O & G CO.'S TO ROB THE LAND OWNER I do not trust none of them.

Attached is a real world decline. The Wagner and Boy Scout's first full quarters were 4th quarter 2012. The results for that quarter and the next 4 (2013) are on the attached spreadsheet. In five quarters they decline over 80% from the first full quarter. Pretty steep decline. I imagine they will improve that , similar to how the operators in the Eagle Ford have gotten better at extending total recovery. Tweaking chokes is a big factor and possibly restimulation.

Zach, A big abrupt decline like that over one month is usually due to shutting off wells for maintenance (you have 11 wells correct?), choking, or a big drop in gas price, but NOT due to a decline in raw production capability output per well. Unless water is getting into all the wells from a formation beneath (rare). Also could be accounting issues (adjusting for past mistakes).
