BIG BIRD
BIG BIRD is a Texas oil lease in Borden County, Railroad Commission district 8A, operated by E.G.L. Resources, Inc. It has 3 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from July 2000 to August 2026, totalling 336,177 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 $1.9M, with roughly $505K 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 773 barrels a month, about 258 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was September 2025, at 1,201 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.
