RISING SUN B
RISING SUN B is a Texas oil lease in Howard County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Vital Energy, Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from April 2023 to August 2026, totalling 175,941 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 $7.5M, with roughly $1.9M 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 3,550 barrels a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was December 2023, at 17,642 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.
