VALLEY WELLS UNIT 17 DIM
VALLEY WELLS UNIT 17 DIM is a Texas oil lease in Dimmit County, Railroad Commission district 01, operated by Chesapeake Operating, L.L.C. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from May 2015 to August 2026, totalling 333,412 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 $2.5M, with roughly $588K 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 709 barrels a month, about 354 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was June 2016, at 6,518 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.
