BLACK BALDY
BLACK BALDY is a Texas oil lease in Andrews County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Vin Fisher Operating, Inc. It has 13 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from October 2024 to August 2026, totalling 47,993 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 $7.3M, with roughly $1.7M 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 2,275 barrels a month, about 175 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was March 2025, at 3,173 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.
