DUPONT
DUPONT is a Texas oil lease in Orange County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by Lake Ronel Oil Company. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from April 2011 to August 2026, totalling 676,812 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 $3.6M, with roughly $1.5M 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 2,475 barrels a month, about 1,237 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was April 2023, at 4,792 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.
