DEAN "C"
DEAN "C" is a Texas oil lease in Cochran County, Railroad Commission district 8A, operated by Mobil Producing TX. & N.M. Inc. It has 14 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 133,093 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 $236K, with roughly $45K 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 44 barrels a month, about 3 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was September 2016, at 153 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.
