BLACK JACK 16
BLACK JACK 16 is a Texas oil lease in Reeves County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Rosetta Resources Operating LP. It has 5 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from June 2014 to August 2026, totalling 1,269,944 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 $10.4M, with roughly $2.3M 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 3,336 barrels a month, about 667 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was December 2016, at 28,785 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.
