MARY HELEN UNIT

MARY HELEN UNIT is a Texas oil lease in Lee County, Railroad Commission district 03, operated by U. S. Operating, Inc. It has 5 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 1993 to August 2026, totalling 141,402 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 $56K, with roughly $8K 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 10 barrels a month, about 2 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was September 2017, at 451 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.
