LEWIS-PAYNE
LEWIS-PAYNE is a Texas oil lease in Brazos County, Railroad Commission district 05, operated by Hawkwood Energy Operating, LLC. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from December 2019 to August 2026, totalling 331,860 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 $4.6M, with roughly $1.1M 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 1,636 barrels a month, about 818 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was December 2019, at 36,546 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.
