WELDER
WELDER is a Texas oil lease in Duval County, Railroad Commission district 04, operated by L.T.D. Explorations Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from May 2025 to August 2026, totalling 1,852 barrels. The lease is intermittent. 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 $740K, with roughly $142K 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 136 barrels a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was September 2025, at 340 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.
