DESERT DOOR 18-6 C
DESERT DOOR 18-6 C is a Texas oil lease in Martin County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Birch Operations, Inc. It has 1 wellbore on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from June 2022 to August 2026, totalling 678,410 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 $16.3M, with roughly $4.8M 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 6,592 barrels a month. Its strongest month on the record we hold was October 2022, at 45,605 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 17% 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.
