ZIRICOTE C
ZIRICOTE C is a Texas oil lease in Gonzales County, Railroad Commission district 01, operated by Baytex Energy USA, Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from May 2025 to August 2026, totalling 72,131 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 $12.2M, with roughly $2.7M 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 5,704 barrels a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2025, at 11,201 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.
