HIGH RIVER
HIGH RIVER is a Texas oil lease in King County, Railroad Commission district 8A, operated by Sojourner Drilling Corporation. It has 3 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from June 2023 to August 2026, totalling 16,684 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 $886K, with roughly $242K 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 383 barrels a month, about 128 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2023, at 920 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.
