KOTARA UNIT
KOTARA UNIT is a Texas oil lease in Karnes County, Railroad Commission district 02, operated by Tidal Petroleum, Inc. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from November 2017 to August 2026, totalling 147,030 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 $914K, with roughly $251K 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 369 barrels a month, about 185 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was January 2018, at 8,530 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.
