BANES
BANES is a Texas oil lease in Cooke County, Railroad Commission district 09, operated by Jones, L. E. Operating, Inc. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from September 2010 to August 2026, totalling 50,310 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 $811K, with roughly $184K 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 253 barrels a month, about 127 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was March 2026, at 410 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.
