CHURCH DIM
CHURCH DIM is a Texas oil lease in Dimmit County, Railroad Commission district 01, operated by Chesapeake Operating, Inc. It has 3 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 2014 to August 2026, totalling 740,337 barrels. The lease is currently producing. Fitting a decline curve to that history and pricing the remaining production at today's forward curve values the whole lease — a 100% undivided interest — at about $3.3M, with roughly $810K expected over the next twelve months. An individual royalty owner receives their own decimal interest times that figure. Over the last twelve months on file it averaged 1,048 barrels a month, about 349 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was June 2016, at 6,925 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 17% of what they went on to produce, and that measured error is the range shown on the page rather than a confidence of our own devising.
