KING UNIT A
KING UNIT A is a Texas oil lease in Dimmit County, Railroad Commission district 01, operated by Murphy Expl. & Prod. Co. - USA. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 2013 to August 2026, totalling 268,802 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 $641K, 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 187 barrels a month, about 94 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was March 2018, at 5,247 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.
