BIG WELLS SOUTH UNIT 16 DIM
BIG WELLS SOUTH UNIT 16 DIM is a Texas oil lease in Dimmit County, Railroad Commission district 01, operated by Chesapeake Operating, L.L.C. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from October 2016 to August 2026, totalling 446,782 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 $525K, with roughly $293K 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 646 barrels a month, about 323 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was November 2016, at 45,646 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 22% 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.
