WHITLEY
WHITLEY is a Texas oil lease in Hockley County, Railroad Commission district 8A, operated by Snyder Oil Corporation. It has 3 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 121,672 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 $1.1M, with roughly $260K 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 383 barrels a month, about 128 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was November 2023, at 621 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.
