HAYS
HAYS is a Texas oil lease in Gregg County, Railroad Commission district 6E, operated by Arco Oil & Gas Co. It has 89 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 1,177,674 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 $3.5M, with roughly $789K 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 1,214 barrels a month, about 14 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was June 2016, at 1,910 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 17% 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.
