GRASSHOPPER 53-28
GRASSHOPPER 53-28 is a Texas oil lease in Loving County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Energen Resources Corporation. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from July 2013 to August 2026, totalling 337,782 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 $1.7M, with roughly $594K 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 869 barrels a month, about 435 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was January 2017, at 3,856 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.
