RIDGE UPPER CLEARFORK UNIT
RIDGE UPPER CLEARFORK UNIT is a Texas oil lease in Crosby County, Railroad Commission district 8A, operated by Aoco Operating Company, L.L.C. It has 176 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from March 1999 to August 2026, totalling 2,091,931 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 $9.7M, with roughly $2.2M 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 3,278 barrels a month, about 19 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2016, at 4,968 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 17% 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.
