LYDA 21
LYDA 21 is a Texas oil lease in Reeves County, Railroad Commission district 08, operated by Thompson, J. Cleo. It has 4 wellbores on file with the Commission. Reported production runs from March 2012 to August 2026, totalling 294,755 barrels. The lease is intermittent. 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 $450K, with roughly $153K 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 237 barrels a month, about 59 per wellbore. Its strongest month on the record we hold was April 2017, at 2,966 barrels. In our own backtest, leases producing at this rate are forecast to within about 22% 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.
