COYOTE
COYOTE is a Texas oil lease in Howard County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Big Star Oil & Gas, LLC. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from December 2011 to August 2026, totalling 55,051 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 $631K, with roughly $108K 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 134 barrels a month, about 67 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was October 2022, at 498 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 22% 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.
