LYTLE GAP (COOK SAND) UNIT
LYTLE GAP (COOK SAND) UNIT is a Texas oil lease in Callahan County, Railroad Commission district 7B, operated by Benson & Schoen Oil Co., Inc. It has 25 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 178,201 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 $630K, with roughly $121K 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 136 barrels a month, about 5 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was March 2017, at 399 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.
