SPHINX 8-17-32
SPHINX 8-17-32 is a Texas oil lease in Mitchell County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Bayswater Operating Company LLC. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 2025 to August 2026, totalling 340,224 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 $4.3M, with roughly $3.6M 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 23,705 barrels a month, about 11,852 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2025, at 54,870 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.
