MBE
MBE is a Texas oil lease in Midland County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Firebird Energy II LLC. It has 8 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from November 2023 to August 2026, totalling 1,545,804 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 $53.4M, with roughly $38.0M 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 105,898 barrels a month, about 13,237 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was July 2025, at 178,026 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 18% 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.
