MCFADDEN
MCFADDEN is a Texas oil lease in Knox County, Railroad Commission district 09, operated by M. E. Operating & Services, Inc. It has 7 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from February 2013 to August 2026, totalling 96,246 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 $885K, with roughly $170K 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 249 barrels a month, about 36 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was January 2019, at 1,360 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.
