ORTON 'A' UNIT
ORTON 'A' UNIT is a Texas oil lease in Clay County, Railroad Commission district 09, operated by Bra-De Oil & Gas Operating, LLC. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from May 2019 to August 2026, totalling 22,480 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 $858K, 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 66 barrels a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was November 2019, at 4,500 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 45% 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.
