WHITTENBURG
WHITTENBURG is a Texas oil lease in Ector County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Patriot Resources, Inc. It has 36 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from February 2010 to August 2026, totalling 3,899,342 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 $44.6M, with roughly $17.2M 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 27,961 barrels a month, about 777 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was December 2023, at 122,813 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 18% 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.
