MURPHY, JOHN
MURPHY, JOHN is a Texas oil lease in Bee County, Railroad Commission district 02, operated by Bridwell Oil Co. It has 6 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 370,279 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 $1.0M, with roughly $238K 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 343 barrels a month, about 57 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2019, at 967 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.
