Work out your decimal interest and what a producing Haynesville unit should be paying you each month, with Louisiana severance tax handled correctly. Estimates, not offers, but honest ones, and the same arithmetic we use.
Your decimal is your net mineral acres divided by the unit acres, times your royalty rate. Multiply it by what the unit produces and the gas price, less severance tax, and you have the check.
A strong new Haynesville well can produce over 20,000 Mcf per day in its early months and decline steeply from there, so one month tells you little about the next year. Louisiana resets the gas severance rate every July 1, and new horizontal wells are exempt for a limited window (shortened to 18 months by 2025's Act 284). Severance comes off before your royalty is figured. Deductions beyond severance depend on your lease, and unleased owners in a compulsory unit are treated differently, in your favor, under Louisiana law.
Got a division order and want to sanity check it? Enter the decimal, the unit size, and your royalty rate, and this backs into the net acres the operator thinks you own.
If the implied acres do not match what the family believes it owns, do not sign yet. The decimal should change only when ownership changes. Send it to us and we will run the math against the unit order, free.
These are unit-level approximations. Your actual value depends on the specific wells, their decline, undrilled benches, cross-unit laterals allocated by footage, and, in Louisiana, whether your servitude is even alive. We run all of it free and show the work, whether or not you ever sell.
