YOW STATE 38
YOW STATE 38 is a Texas oil lease in Reeves County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Thompson, J. Cleo. It has 5 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from June 2012 to August 2026, totalling 615,810 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 $2.0M, with roughly $702K 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 1,030 barrels a month, about 206 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2018, at 21,687 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.
