DORMAN UNIT
DORMAN UNIT is a Texas oil lease in Montague County, Railroad Commission district 09, operated by Chico Production Corp. It has 2 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from January 2024 to August 2026, totalling 49,302 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 $2.5M, with roughly $639K 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 1,002 barrels a month, about 501 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was May 2024, at 5,683 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.
