ACE IN THE HOLE
ACE IN THE HOLE is a Texas oil lease in Reeves County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Cog Operating LLC. It has 4 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from April 2022 to August 2026, totalling 1,962,573 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 $32.0M, with roughly $9.6M 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 16,916 barrels a month, about 4,229 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2022, at 147,662 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 18% 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.
