GORILLA 20
GORILLA 20 is a Texas oil lease in Reeves County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Patriot Resources, Inc. It has 11 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from February 2012 to August 2026, totalling 1,603,022 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 $5.3M, with roughly $1.2M 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 2,192 barrels a month, about 199 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2016, at 23,946 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.
