JW HARDIN UNIT 31-42
JW HARDIN UNIT 31-42 is a Texas oil lease in Howard County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Murchison Oil And Gas, LLC. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from June 2023 to August 2026, totalling 524,357 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 $23.2M, with roughly $6.0M 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 8,540 barrels a month, about 4,270 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was November 2023, at 33,250 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.
