VENUS
VENUS is a Texas oil lease in Brazos County, Railroad Commission district 05, operated by Wildfire Energy Operating LLC. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from November 2025 to August 2026, totalling 101,662 barrels. The lease is intermittent. 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 $30.2M, 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 14,320 barrels a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was February 2026, at 27,211 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.
