CARLTON 5A
CARLTON 5A is a Texas oil lease in Hardin County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by Saratoga Energy Corporation. It has 4 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 3,238 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 $19K, with roughly $4K 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 5 barrels a month, about 1 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was April 2018, at 10 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.
