What you could possibly do is get a petroleum engineer to evaluate the properties and give a fair market value of them. They will take the historical production and prices and calculate how much of the reserves are left and what they are worth based upon recognized engineering practices and at a set price. They will calculate the decline curve of the reservoir and then they can predict what the revenues will be based upon a certain oil and gas price. Estate evaluations and mineral buyers use a method like this to evaluate properties. It is not a “set in stone” prediction because prices change, but it is a good market value and an indicator of revenue set at one point in time.
