BOWDLE "42"
BOWDLE "42" is a Texas oil lease in Loving County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Patterson Petroleum, Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from February 1999 to August 2026, totalling 209,943 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 $183K, with roughly $35K 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 72 barrels a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was August 2016, at 718 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 45% 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.
