FRIESS 'A'
FRIESS 'A' is a Texas oil lease in Edwards County, Railroad Commission district 01, operated by Texas Secondary Oil Corporation. It has 5 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from July 2018 to August 2026, totalling 1,351 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 $14K, with roughly $3K 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 4 barrels a month, about 1 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was February 2022, at 76 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 100% 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.
