SHORT, J. C.
SHORT, J. C. is a Texas oil lease in Gray County, Railroad Commission district 10, operated by Lejan, Inc. It has 11 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 43,081 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 $230K, with roughly $44K 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 39 barrels a month, about 4 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was April 2019, at 163 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 45% 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.
