DANA
DANA is a Texas oil lease in Garza County, Railroad Commission district 8A, operated by SM Energy Company. It has 5 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from July 2010 to August 2026, totalling 295,706 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 $811K, with roughly $152K 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 205 barrels a month, about 41 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2017, at 1,701 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.
