ZUNKER UNIT
ZUNKER UNIT is a Texas oil lease in Karnes County, Railroad Commission district 02, operated by Plains Exploration & Prod. Co. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from April 2012 to August 2026, totalling 119,890 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 $427K, with roughly $74K 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 82 barrels a month, about 41 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2016, at 2,867 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 45% 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.
