VAN HALEN
VAN HALEN is a Texas oil lease in Howard County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Occidental Permian Ltd. It has 3 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from August 2018 to August 2026, totalling 536,034 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 $4.3M, with roughly $925K 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 1,121 barrels a month, about 374 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was October 2018, at 60,458 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.
