BUSH VIPER UNIT NW 1-56
BUSH VIPER UNIT NW 1-56 is a Texas oil lease in Ward County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Energen Resources Corporation. It has 3 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from July 2012 to August 2026, totalling 173,759 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 $1.8M, with roughly $454K 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 570 barrels a month, about 190 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was September 2016, at 2,549 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.
