DENALI 48E
DENALI 48E is a Texas oil lease in Howard County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Ovintiv USA Inc. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from December 2021 to August 2026, totalling 479,729 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 $9.4M, with roughly $2.5M 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 3,243 barrels a month, about 1,622 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was February 2022, at 47,054 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.
