PRESTON 5
PRESTON 5 is a Texas oil lease in Midland County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Pioneer Natural Res. USA, Inc. It has 29 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from November 2015 to August 2026, totalling 6,932,805 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 $18.0M, with roughly $7.2M 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 11,255 barrels a month, about 388 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was June 2016, at 254,559 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.
